inet: frags: Remove unnecessary smp_store_release/READ_ONCE The smp_store_release call in fqdir_exit cannot protect the setting of fqdir->dead as claimed because its memory barrier is only guaranteed to be one-way and the barrier precedes the setting of fqdir->dead. IOW it doesn't provide any barriers between fq->dir and the following hash table destruction. In fact, the code is safe anyway because call_rcu does provide both the memory barrier as well as a guarantee that when the destruction work starts executing all RCU readers will see the updated value for fqdir->dead. Therefore this patch removes the unnecessary smp_store_release call as well as the corresponding READ_ONCE on the read-side in order to not confuse future readers of this code.
