[PATCH] revocable: Remove redundant synchronize_srcu() call
From: Tzung-Bi Shih
Date: Tue Jan 20 2026 - 23:03:17 EST
When allocating a revocable provider via revocable_provider_alloc(),
there is no revocable consumers (i.e., RCU readers) yet. Remove the
redundant synchronize_srcu() call to save cycles.
