rcu/nocb: Remove needless LOAD-ACQUIRE
The LOAD-ACQUIRE access performed on rdp->nocb_cb_sleep advertizes
ordering callback execution against grace period completion. However
this is contradicted by the following:
* This LOAD-ACQUIRE doesn't pair with anything. The only counterpart
barrier that can be found is the smp_mb() placed after callbacks
advancing in nocb_gp_wait(). However the barrier is placed _after_
->nocb_cb_sleep write.
* Callbacks can be concurrently advanced between the LOAD-ACQUIRE on
->nocb_cb_sleep and the call to rcu_segcblist_extract_done_cbs() in
rcu_do_batch(), making any ordering based on ->nocb_cb_sleep broken.
* Both rcu_segcblist_extract_done_cbs() and rcu_advance_cbs() are called
under the nocb_lock, the latter hereby providing already the desired
ACQUIRE semantics.
Therefore it is safe to access ->nocb_cb_sleep with a simple compiler
barrier.
