[PATCH tip/core/rcu 15/16] memory-barriers.txt: Fix typo in pairing example

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Oct 04 2017 - 17:24:25 EST


From: Scott Tsai <scottt@xxxxxxxxx>

In the "general barrier pairing with implicit control depdendency"
example, the last write by CPU 1 was meant to change variable x and not
y. The example would be pretty uninteresting if no CPU ever changes x
and the variable was initialized to zero.
