Replace guard(rcu)() + for_each_thread() with for_each_thread_rcu(),
so that the RCU read-side critical section is scoped to the loop body.

No functional change.

Looks good, provided that the for_each_thread_rcu() macro gets
accepted.

Although, I find that in the Landlock case, it does not provide a very
strong advantage over the explicit "guard(rcu)();", and I find it
normally preferrable to use orthogonal APIs.
