Is this a bug? how to guarantee the "atomic semantics access of readyqueue" in "do_swap" function during context switch in SMP mode?

HI folks:
     if from the call pass of z_swap, which with parameter,  
      do_swap(key.key, lock, 1);
    because is_spinlock is 1, so the lock would be released before invoke the actual switch function "arch_switch", 
which means there are nothing procteced the readyqueue of the scheduler, during the moment, if other cpus access the readyqueue, there would be a chance that
"_current" task be selected by other cpus before the register  context do the actual backup. so did this a bug?
