In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

rcutorture: Fix rcutorture_one_extend_check() splat in RT kernels

For built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y kernels, running rcutorture
tests resulted in the following splat:

Disable BH does not change the SOFTIRQ corresponding bits in
preempt_count() for RT kernels, this commit therefore use
softirq_count() to check the if BH is disabled.
