rcu: No ordering for rcu_assign_pointer() of NULL
This commit does a compile-time check for rcu_assign_pointer() of NULL, and uses WRITE_ONCE() rather than smp_store_release() in that case. Reported-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
