rcu: Avoid ->dynticks_nesting store tearing
Although ->dynticks_nesting is updated only by process level, it is accessed from hardirq to check for interrupt-from-idle quiescent states. Store tearing is thus possible, so this commit applies WRITE_ONCE() to ->dynticks_nesting stores. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
