The aforementioned races get really ugly really fast. So I do not
believe that a lockless approach is a strategy to win here.
But why not use something sort of like a sequence counter, but adapted
for local on-CPU use? This should quiet the diagnostics for the full
time that RCU needs its locks. Untested patch below.
Thoughts?
