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