rcu: Correct READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for ->rcu_read_unlock_special
The task_struct structure's ->rcu_read_unlock_special field is only ever read or written by the owning task, but it is accessed both at process and interrupt levels. It may therefore be accessed using plain reads and writes while interrupts are disabled, but must be accessed using READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() or better otherwise. This commit makes a few adjustments to align with this discipline. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>
