srcu: use ACCESS_ONCE() to access sp->completed in srcu_read_lock()
The old SRCU implementation loads sp->completed within an
RCU-sched section, courtesy of preempt_disable(). This was required
due to the use of synchronize_sched() in the old implemenation's
synchronize_srcu(). However, the new implementation does not rely
on synchronize_sched(), so it in turn does not require the load of
sp->completed and the ->c[] counter to be in a single preempt-disabled
region of code. This commit therefore moves the sp->completed access
outside of the preempt-disabled region and applies ACCESS_ONCE().
The resulting code is almost as the same as before, but it removes the
now-misleading rcu_dereference_index_check() call.
