Subject: [PATCH rcu 4/6] rcu: Remove full memory barrier on boot time eqs sanity check

From: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@...nel.org>

When the boot CPU initializes the per-CPU data on behalf of all possible
CPUs, a sanity check is performed on each of them to make sure none is
initialized in an extended quiescent state.

This check involves a full memory barrier which is useless at this early
boot stage.

Do a plain access instead.
