rcu: Optimize and protect atomic_cmpxchg() loop
This commit reworks the atomic_cmpxchg() loop in rcu_eqs_special_set() to do only the initial read from the current CPU's rcu_data structure's ->dynticks field explicitly. On subsequent passes, this value is instead retained from the failing atomic_cmpxchg() operation. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
