srcu: use ACCESS_ONCE() to access sp->completed in srcu_read_lock()
The old SRCU implementation loads sp->completed within an RCU-sched section, courtesy of preempt_disable(). This was required due to the use of synchronize_sched() in the old implemenation's synchronize_srcu(). However, the new implementation does not rely on synchronize_sched(), so it in turn does not require the load of sp->completed and the ->c[] counter to be in a single preempt-disabled region of code. This commit therefore moves the sp->completed access outside of the preempt-disabled region and applies ACCESS_ONCE(). The resulting code is almost as the same as before, but it removes the now-misleading rcu_dereference_index_check() call. Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
