What is the purpose of checking for the _READY state flag as well here ?

The mask will match if either of the flags to match are set. Is that 
your intent ?

So I understand that those _READY flags are there purely for making sure 
we clear the membarrier_state for validation that they have all been 
checked with the following WARN_ON_ONCE(). Am I on the right track ?
