Paul E. McKenney b2b1866006 [PATCH] RCU: clean up a few remaining synchronize_kernel() calls
2.6.12-rc6-mm1 has a few remaining synchronize_kernel()s, some (but not
all) in comments.  This patch changes these synchronize_kernel() calls (and
comments) to synchronize_rcu() or synchronize_sched() as follows:

- arch/x86_64/kernel/mce.c mce_read(): change to synchronize_sched() to
  handle races with machine-check exceptions (synchronize_rcu() would not cut
  it given RCU implementations intended for hardcore realtime use.

- drivers/input/serio/i8042.c i8042_stop(): change to synchronize_sched() to
  handle races with i8042_interrupt() interrupt handler.  Again,
  synchronize_rcu() would not cut it given RCU implementations intended for
  hardcore realtime use.

- include/*/kdebug.h comments: change to synchronize_sched() to handle races
  with NMIs.  As before, synchronize_rcu() would not cut it...

- include/linux/list.h comment: change to synchronize_rcu(), since this
  comment is for list_del_rcu().

- security/keys/key.c unregister_key_type(): change to synchronize_rcu(),
  since this is interacting with RCU read side.

- security/keys/process_keys.c install_session_keyring(): change to
  synchronize_rcu(), since this is interacting with RCU read side.
