3.16.62-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Peter Zijlstra peterz@infradead.org
commit b59167ac7bafd804c91e49ad53c6d33a7394d4c8 upstream.
Eric reported that a sequence count loop using this_cpu_read() got optimized out. This is wrong, this_cpu_read() must imply READ_ONCE() because the interface is IRQ-safe, therefore an interrupt can have changed the per-cpu value.
