The rcu read locks are needed to avoid potential race condition while
dereferencing radix tree from multiple threads. The issue was identified
by syzbot. Below is the crash report:
=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
5.7.0-syzkaller #0 Not tainted
-----------------------------
include/linux/radix-tree.h:176 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
other info that might help us debug this:
