From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx>
This commit reworks the atomic_cmpxchg() loop in rcu_eqs_special_set()
to do only the initial read from the current CPU's rcu_data structure's
->dynticks field explicitly. On subsequent passes, this value is instead
retained from the failing atomic_cmpxchg() operation.
