[8/9] rcu: Eliminate lockless accesses to rcu_sync->gp_count

Commit Message

From: Oleg Nesterov <[e-mail]>

The rcu_sync structure's ->gp_count field is always accessed under the
protection of that same structure's ->rss_lock field, with the exception
of a pair of WARN_ON_ONCE() calls just prior to acquiring that lock in
functions rcu_sync_exit() and rcu_sync_dtor().  These lockless accesses
are unnecessary and impair KCSAN's ability to catch bugs that might be
inserted via other lockless accesses.

This commit therefore moves those WARN_ON_ONCE() calls under the lock.
