Paul E. McKenney 9407f5c3ec srcu: Unconditionally record srcu_read_lock_lite() in ->srcu_reader_flavor
Currently, srcu_read_lock_lite() uses the SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_LITE bit in
->srcu_reader_flavor to communicate to the grace-period processing in
srcu_readers_active_idx_check() that the smp_mb() must be replaced by a
synchronize_rcu().  Unfortunately, ->srcu_reader_flavor is not updated
unless the kernel is built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y.  Therefore in all
kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=n, srcu_readers_active_idx_check()
incorrectly uses smp_mb() instead of synchronize_rcu() for srcu_struct
structures whose readers use srcu_read_lock_lite().

This commit therefore causes Tree SRCU srcu_read_lock_lite()
to unconditionally update ->srcu_reader_flavor so that
srcu_readers_active_idx_check() can make the correct choice.
