Thank you for the testing, bug-finding, and problem-solving!

In theory, you would need a Signed-off-by here from me as well, but
in practice bisectability means that this must be folded into this:

e7c778489040 ("srcu: Use static init for statically allocated in-module srcu_struct")

This will of course be with attribution.

But this is still a bit more complex than needed.  How about something
like this?

							Thanx, Paul
