rcu: Add WRITE_ONCE() to rcu_state ->gp_req_activity
The rcu_state structure's ->gp_req_activity field is read locklessly, so this commit adds the WRITE_ONCE() to an update in order to provide proper documentation and READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() pairing. This data race was reported by KCSAN. Not appropriate for backporting due to failure being unlikely. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
