srcu: Reduce probability of SRCU ->unlock_count[] counter overflow
Because there are no memory barriers between the srcu_flip() ->completed
increment and the summation of the read-side ->unlock_count[] counters,
both the compiler and the CPU can reorder the summation with the
->completed increment. If the updater is preempted long enough during
this process, the read-side counters could overflow, resulting in a
too-short grace period.
This commit therefore adds a memory barrier just after the ->completed
increment, ensuring that if the summation misses an increment of
->unlock_count[] from __srcu_read_unlock(), the next __srcu_read_lock()
will see the new value of ->completed, thus bounding the number of
->unlock_count[] increments that can be missed to NR_CPUS. The actual
overflow computation is more complex due to the possibility of nesting
of __srcu_read_lock().
