Subject: sched: Move mmdrop to RCU on RT
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Date: Mon, 06 Jun 2011 12:20:33 +0200
Git-repo: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git
Git-commit: da77ceac3d20f27310a07a7c346a4ee6b40d6c28
Patch-mainline: Queued in subsystem maintainer repository
References: SLE Realtime Extension

Takes sleeping locks and calls into the memory allocator, so nothing
we want to do in task switch and oder atomic contexts.
