We should re-check sp->per_cpu_ref != NULL after taking sp->mutex,
it was probably allocated by another thread.

I think this is deadlockable, synchronize_srcu() does

        while (srcu_readers_active_idx(sp, idx))
                schedule_timeout_interruptible(1);

under sp->mutex, so the loop above may spin forever while the reader
waits for sp->mutex in srcu_read_unlock(sp, -1).
