From: Zilin Guan <zilinguan811@xxxxxxxxx>
There is one access to the per-CPU rdp->gpwrap field in the
__note_gp_changes() function that does not use READ_ONCE(), but all other
accesses do use READ_ONCE(). When using the 8*TREE03 and CONFIG_NR_CPUS=8
configuration, KCSAN found no data races at that point. This is because
all calls to __note_gp_changes() hold rnp->lock, which excludes writes
to the rdp->gpwrap fields for all CPUs associated with that same leaf
rcu_node structure.
This commit therefore removes READ_ONCE() from rdp->gpwrap accesses
within the __note_gp_changes() function.
