Marco Elver 255edefeb0 rcu: Fix data-race due to atomic_t copy-by-value
[ Upstream commit 6cf539a87a61a4fbc43f625267dbcbcf283872ed ]

This fixes a data-race where `atomic_t dynticks` is copied by value. The
copy is performed non-atomically, resulting in a data-race if `dynticks`
is updated concurrently.

This data-race was found with KCSAN:

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
