I'm still confused by the new implementation of fsverity_active() that
got introduced by "fsverity: use a hashtable to find the fsverity_info",
though.  I should have caught this during review of that commit.  For
one its comment is outdated, but also the memory barrier seems to be
specific to the fsverity_get_info() caller and probably should be moved
to there.  Anyway, that's not directly related to this patch.
