Right now, this isn't a problem, but the next commit allows schedules
to be added during runtime. When a new schedule transitions from the
inactive to the active state ("admin" -> "oper") the previous one can
be freed, if it's freed just after the RCU read lock is released, we
may access an invalid entry.
So, we should take care to protect the dequeue() flow, so all the
places that access the entries are protected by the RCU read lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
