Qinglang Miao 368ffd9adc ipmi: msghandler: Suppress suspicious RCU usage warning
while running ipmi, ipmi_smi_watcher_register() caused
a suspicious RCU usage warning.

=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
5.10.0-rc3+ #1 Not tainted
-----------------------------
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:750 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
2 locks held by syz-executor.0/4254:

It is safe because smi_watchers_mutex is locked and srcu_read_lock
has been used, so simply pass lockdep_is_held() to the
list_for_each_entry_rcu() to suppress this warning.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
