Description

call_rcu threads should clear their PAUSED flag when they unpause, and call_rcu_after_fork_parent should spin-wait on this.

Otherwise a second fork in the parent will see the PAUSED flags already set and call_rcu_before_fork will not correctly wait for the call_rcu threads to quiesce on this second occasion.
