You are right. This needs changing :-( Its my fault, I did not test SRCU
torture tests which are indeed failing.

I fixed it with the diff attached to the end of the email and will test it
more.

I decided to keep it this way as I did not see how it could be better.
You mentioned you are Ok with either option so I left it as is.
