Thank you for chasing this down, John!

You are exactly right, and I therefore need to pull this into the
pile for the upcoming merge window:

dbc6ca150842 ("srcu: Make Tiny synchronize_srcu() check for readers")

And kudos to Zqiang for a proactive fix!  ;-)

I will add your (John's) Tested-by, but please let me know if this is

							Thanx, Paul
