Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Use READ_ONCE() for rdp->gpwrap access in __note_gp_changes()

In function __note_gp_changes(), rdp->gpwrap is read using READ_ONCE()
in line 1307:

1307    if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PROVE_RCU) && READ_ONCE(rdp->gpwrap))
1308            WRITE_ONCE(rdp->last_sched_clock, jiffies);

while read directly in line 1305:

1305    if (ULONG_CMP_LT(rdp->gp_seq_needed, rnp->gp_seq_needed) ||
	    rdp->gpwrap)
1306            WRITE_ONCE(rdp->gp_seq_needed, rnp->gp_seq_needed);

In the same environment, reads in two places should have the same
protection.
