PREEMPT_RCU read-side critical sections blocking an expedited grace
period invoke rcu_report_exp_rnp().  When the last such critical section
has completed, rcu_report_exp_rnp() invokes the scheduler to wake up the
task that invoked synchronize_rcu_expedited() -- needlessly holding the
root rcu_node structure's lock while doing so, thus needlessly providing
a way for RCU and the scheduler to deadlock.

This commit therefore releases the root rcu_node structure's lock before
calling wake_up().
