If a given statically allocated in-module srcu_struct structure was ever used for updates, srcu_module_going() will invoke cleanup_srcu_struct() at module-exit time. This will check for the error case of SRCU readers persisting past module-exit time. On the other hand, if this srcu_struct structure never went through a grace period, srcu_module_going() only invokes free_percpu(), which would result in strange failures if SRCU readers persisted past module-exit time. This commit therefore adds a srcu_readers_active() check to srcu_module_going(), splatting if readers have persisted and refraining from invoking free_percpu() in that case. Better to leak memory than to suffer silent memory corruption!

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.
