For synchronize_srcu_atomic(), the following items maybe also
need to be added:

        srcu_lock_sync(&ssp->dep_map);

        RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN(lockdep_is_held(ssp),
                         "Illegal synchronize_srcu() in same-type SRCU read-side critical section");

        if (rcu_scheduler_active == RCU_SCHEDULER_INACTIVE)
                return;

Thanks
