smp_rmb() guarantees you see stores in the order you want. If you have:

[cpu0]					[cpu1]
new_ns->entry_count = 0; 
smp_wmb();
WRITE_ONCE(ns->binfmt_ns, new_ns); 	b_ns = READ_ONCE(ns->binfmt_ns);
					smp_rmb();
					<access b_ns->entry_count>

smp_rmb() guarantees you see true entry_count on the cpu1. Without
smp_rmb() you may see old value of new_ns->entry_count.
