[PATCH 1/2] stop_machine: Use non-atomic read multi_stop_data::state clearly

From: Rong Tao
Date: Fri Oct 20 2023 - 10:43:49 EST


From: Rong Tao <rongtao@xxxxxxxx>

commit b1fc58333575 ("stop_machine: Avoid potential race behaviour")
solved the race behaviour problem, to better show that race behaviour
does not exist, pass the 'curstate' directly to ack_state() instead of
refetching msdata->state in ack_state().
