rcu/kvfree: Move need_offload_krc() out of krcp->lock
The need_offload_krc() function currently holds the krcp->lock in order to safely check krcp->head. This commit removes the need for this lock in that function by updating the krcp->head pointer using WRITE_ONCE() macro so that readers can carry out lockless loads of that pointer.
