inspection?

I observed this. I was using perf_event_open instead of linux tools perf
to monitor a process continuously forking new processes, generating a lot
of mmap records. And a sample record happens while generating a mmap record.

For missing barriers, I thought local_xxx provided implied barriers. But
I found atomic_ops.txt said not. Thanks for reminding! I will add them in
path v2.

I also think it's a good idea to use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE for rb->nest. Will
use it in patch v2.
