With multiple, concurrent readers (each waiting to acquire the
atomic_read_lock mutex), a departing reader may mistakenly reset
minimum_to_wake after a new reader has already set a new value.

Protect the minimum_to_wake reset with the atomic_read_lock critical
section.

This patch doesn't apply to Linus's tree anymore (and hence, mine.)  Is
it needed for 3.13-final?  Or just 3.14-rc1?  Either way, can you
refresh it and resend?

thanks,
