rcu: Protect uses of jiffies_stall field with ACCESS_ONCE()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Some of the uses of the rcu_state structure's ->jiffies_stall field
do not use ACCESS_ONCE(), despite there being unprotected accesses.
This commit therefore uses the ACCESS_ONCE() macro to protect this field.
