rcu: using ACCESS_ONCE() to observe the jiffies_stall/rnp->qsmask value
Using ACCESS_ONCE() to observe the jiffies_stall/rnp->qsmask value due to the caller didn't hold the root_rcu/rnp node's lock. Although use without ACCESS_ONCE() is safe due to the value loaded being used but once, the ACCESS_ONCE() is a good documentation aid -- the variables are being loaded without the services of a lock.
