In fact, I would write the thing like:

preempt_disable_notrace();
if (rcuidle)
idx = srcu_read_lock_notrace(&tracepoint_srcu);

it_func_ptr = rcu_dereference_raw((tp)->funcs);

/* ... */

if (rcu_idle)
srcu_read_unlock_notrace(&tracepoint_srcu, idx);
preempt_enable_notrace();

Much simpler and very much the same.
