Subject: [PATCH] membarrier: Fix RCU locking bug caused by faulty merge
References: bnc#1155798 (CPU scheduler functional and performance backports)
Patch-mainline: v5.4-rc2
Git-commit: 73956fc07dd7b25d4a33ab3fdd6247c60d0b237c
The following commit:
227a4aadc75b ("sched/membarrier: Fix p->mm->membarrier_state racy load")
got fat fingered by me when merging it with other patches. It meant to move
the RCU section out of the for loop but ended up doing it partially, leaving
a superfluous rcu_read_lock() inside, causing havok.
