[PATCH tip/core/rcu 1/4] srcu: Fix __call_srcu()/process_srcu() datarace

[paulmck]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx>

The srcu_node structure's ->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp field is accessed
locklessly, so updates must use WRITE_ONCE().  This commit therefore
adds the needed WRITE_ONCE() invocations.

This data race was reported by KCSAN.  Not appropriate for backporting
due to failure being unlikely.
