Since the write is under pool->lock but the read is done as lockless.
Even though the commit 5b990546e334 ("mempool: fix and document
synchronization and memory barrier usage") introduced the smp_wmb() and
smp_rmb() pair to improve the situation, it is adequate to protect it
from data races which could lead to a logic bug, so fix it by adding
READ_ONCE() for the read.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
