Yes, and later then (I hope) get_online_cpus() will be just
current->cpuhp_ref++ || percpu_down_read().
(just in case, we only need ->cpuhp_ref to ensure that the readers
can't starve the writers as it currently possible. iow to block the
new readers but ensure that the recursive get/down_read can't block)
And please look at sb_wait_write/sb_start_write. It uses the same
logic except:
- it doesn't have the "true" fast-path for readers
- its "slow" mode is slower than necessary
- it is buggy (afaics)

surely not ;)
