Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 12/24] rcu: Add READ_ONCE() to rcu_do_batch() access to rcu_resched_ns

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

Given that sysfs can change the value of rcu_resched_ns at any time,
this commit adds a READ_ONCE() to the sole access to that variable.
While in the area, this commit also adds bounds checking, clamping the
value to at least a millisecond, but no longer than a second.
