Subject: [PATCHv4 08/12] sched: Wrap rq->rd->overload accesses with READ/WRITE_ONCE

From: Valentin Schneider <valentin.schneider@....com>

This variable can be read and set locklessly within update_sd_lb_stats().
As such, READ/WRITE_ONCE are added to make sure nothing terribly wrong
can happen because of the compiler.
