Ah, this message was from an older series :-(. I did test it with rcutorture
for many hours. But I forgot to update this commit message. :-(

I will respond to other comments soon, I am still stuck on the comment about
rcl.len and rcu_barrier interaction that you brought up in 1/4 and 2/4.

Thanks!
