Thank you for your advice, but that doesn't help. Because
rcu_sysrq_start() and rcu_sysrq_end() try to suppress the warnings
during sysrq, but kgdb already has no warnings during kgdb_cpu_enter()
since it is executed in irq disabled context. Instead, this patch
wants to suppress the warnings *after* kgdb_cpu_enter() due to a very
old jiffies value.
