JFYI, starting with v4.20-rc1, synchronize_rcu{,expedited}() also wait
for preempt-disable sections (the intent seems to retire the RCU-sched
update-side API), so that here you could instead use preempt-disable +
synchronize_rcu{,expedited}().  This LWN article gives an overview of
the latest RCU API/semantics changes: https://lwn.net/Articles/777036/.
