It looks like rcu_callback_map was been added by 77a40f97030 ("rcu:
Remove kfree_rcu() special casing and lazy-callback handling").  Which
was less than a year ago.  ;-)

Hmmm...  This would be a good way to allow lockdep to tell you that you
are running within an RCU callback on the one hand are are reclaiming
due to kfree_rcu() on the other.  Was that the intent?  If so, a comment
seems necessary.
