From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx>
The rcu_node structure's ->boost_tasks field is read locklessly, so this
commit adds the READ_ONCE() to one load in order to avoid destructive
compiler optimizations. The other load is from a diagnostic print,
so data_race() suffices.
This data race was reported by KCSAN. Not appropriate for backporting
due to failure being unlikely.
