[PATCH v2 3/4] rcu/kvfree: Move need_offload_krc() out of krcp->lock

["Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)" <urezki@gmail.com>]

Currently a need_offload_krc() function requires the krcp->lock
to be held because krcp->head can not be checked concurrently.

Fix it by updating the krcp->head using WRITE_ONCE() macro so
it becomes lock-free and safe for readers to see a valid data
without any locking.
