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.
