rcu: Make rcu_read_lock_bh_held() allow for disabled BH
Disabling BH can stand in for rcu_read_lock_bh(), and this patch updates rcu_read_lock_bh_held() to allow for this. In order to avoid include-file hell, this function is moved out of line to kernel/rcupdate.c. This fixes a false positive RCU warning.
