Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 01/19] rcu: Protect ->gp_flags accesses with ACCESS_ONCE()

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

A number of ->gp_flags accesses don't have ACCESS_ONCE(), but all of
the can race against other loads or stores.  This commit therefore
applies ACCESS_ONCE() to the unprotected ->gp_flags accesses.
