[PATCH 09/14] rcutree: Fix invalid wakeup in rcu_wait

[Libin]

If thread is preempted before calling set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE),
and the other thread set the condition followed with wake_up_process. After
that when this thread is re-scheduled, calling set_current_state to set itself
as state TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, if it is preempted again after that and before
__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING), it triggers the invalid wakeup problem.

To solve this problem, using preempt_disable() to bound the operaion that
setting the task state and the conditions(set by the wake thread) validation.
