Good catch, thank you!

Queued with wordsmithing as follows.  As always, please check to see
if I wordsmithed something out of existence.

    rcu-tasks: Convert RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() to WARN_ONCE()
    
    Kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y and CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y
    attempt to emit a warning when the synchronize_rcu_tasks_generic()
    function is called during early boot while the rcu_scheduler_active
    variable is RCU_SCHEDULER_INACTIVE.  However the warnings is not
    actually be printed because the debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() returns
    false, exactly because the rcu_scheduler_active variable is still equal
    to RCU_SCHEDULER_INACTIVE.
    
    This commit therefore replaces RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() with WARN_ONCE()
    to force these warnings to actually be printed.
