C RCU+sync+read

(*
 * Result: Never
 *
 * This litmus test demonstrates that after a grace period, an RCU updater always
 * sees all stores done in prior RCU read-side critical sections. Such
 * read-side critical sections would have ended before the grace period ended.
 *
 * This is one implication of the RCU grace-period guarantee, which says (among
 * other things) that an RCU read-side critical section cannot span a grace period.
