Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 4/4] srcu: Add READ_ONCE() to srcu_struct ->srcu_gp_seq load

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...nel.org>

The load of the srcu_struct structure's ->srcu_gp_seq field in
srcu_funnel_gp_start() is lockless, so this commit adds the requisite
READ_ONCE().

This data race was reported by KCSAN.
