The previous two lines are common for the both "if" branches. Lets move
it above the "if".

Shouldn't we do this before checking for 'test_start'?

Why don't we do rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() inside the loop?

'offset' is not used in this function.

Are we sure all the threads are ready at this point? Otherwise why
bother with 'test_start' flag?
