[PATCH] rcu/segcblist: Use WRITE_ONCE() for rclp->len decrement

[Kaushlendra Kumar]

The rclp->len field is accessed concurrently by multiple contexts
in RCU operations. Using WRITE_ONCE() provides the necessary memory
ordering guarantees.

This change ensures that the callback list length is updated atomically
and provides consistent visibility across different CPU contexts,
maintaining the integrity of RCU callback list management.
