What if the manager thread update ->percpu_list_ptr and call
membarrier() here? I.e.

	CPU0			CPU1
				list_ptr = atomic_load(&args->percpu_list_ptr); // read list_b
	
	atomic_store(&args->percpu_list_ptr, list_a);
	sys_membarrier(MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_RESTART_RSEQ_ON_CPU, 1); // send ipi to restart rseq.cs on CPU1

				<got IPI, but not in a rseq.cs, so nothing to do>
				cpu = rseq_cpu_start(); // start a rseq.cs and accessing list_b!

The thing is, atomic_load() is an reference to ->percpu_list_ptr, which
is outside the rseq.cs, simply restarting rseq doesn't kill this
reference.

Am I missing something subtle?
