From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
The print_other_cpu_stall() function accesses a number of rcu_node
fields without protection from the ->lock. In theory, this is not
a problem because the fields accessed are all integers, but in
practice the compiler can get nasty. Therefore, the commit extends
the existing critical section to cover the entire loop body.
