commit 93ee385254d53849c01dd8ab9bc9d02790ee7f0e upstream.
The code for syncing vmalloc memory PGD pointers is using
atomic_read() in pair with atomic_set_release() but the
proper pairing is atomic_read_acquire() paired with
atomic_set_release().
This is done to clearly instruct the compiler to not
reorder the memcpy() or similar calls inside the section
so that we do not observe changes to init_mm. memcpy()
calls should be identified by the compiler as having
unpredictable side effects, but let's try to be on the
safe side.
