Concurrent threads can both pass the rcu lookuping at the same time, and then they will be serialized by grab_cache_page invoking, which altering second thread to read node page synchronously instead of reading asynchronously. IMO, we can afford to reference and trylock which takes litte overhead of CPU in order to avoid potential synchronously readahead for node page.
