Again, good catch!  Does the patch shown below fix this?

commit c3c182aa501c13faccf5f2c168004a5c98a89d74
Author: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

    rcu: Use READ_ONCE() for ->expmask in rcu_read_unlock_special()
    
    The rcu_node structure's ->expmask field is updated only when holding the
    ->lock, but is also accessed locklessly.  This means that all ->expmask
    updates must use WRITE_ONCE() and all reads carried out without holding
    ->lock must use READ_ONCE().  This commit therefore changes the lockless
    ->expmask read in rcu_read_unlock_special() to use READ_ONCE().
