(*
* Result: Never
*
* This litmus test demonstrates that an RCU reader can never see a write that
* follows a grace period, if it did not see writes that precede that grace
* period.
*
* This is a typical pattern of RCU usage, where the write before the grace
* period assigns a pointer, and the writes following the grace period destroy
* the object that the pointer used to point to.
*
* This is one implication of the RCU grace-period guarantee, which says (among
* other things) that an RCU read-side critical section cannot span a grace period.
