I strongly suspect the memory barrier after flip is useless for the same
reasons I mentioned explaining why the barrier before the flip is useless.

However, we need to double-check that we have memory barriers at the
beginning and end of synchronize_srcu, and between load of "unlock"
counters and load of "lock" counters.

Where is the barrier at the beginning of synchronize_srcu ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
