Seen if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y and CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING_IDLE=y.
It seems that rcu_read_lock_sched_held() can be true when entering an interrupt.

The problem is not seen in v6.2, but occurs randomly on ToT with various
arm emulations.
First time observed and reproduced with v6.2-5715-g0175ec3a28c6. Still trying
to track down further.
