The only site using rt_overloaded() to test the rto_count is pull_rt_task() and we should issue a matching rmb before then assuming there's an rto_mask bit set. Without that smp_rmb() in there we could actually miss seeing the rto_mask bit. Also, change to using smp_[wr]mb(), even though this is SMP only code; memory barriers without smp_ always make me think they're against hardware of some sort.
