From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> The rcu_node structure's ->exp_seq_rq field is accessed locklessly, so updates must use WRITE_ONCE(). This commit therefore adds the needed WRITE_ONCE() invocation where it was missed. This data race was reported by KCSAN. Not appropriate for backporting due to failure being unlikely.
