rcu: Add an RCU_INITIALIZER for global RCU-protected pointers
There is currently no way to initialize a global RCU-protected pointer without either putting up with sparse complaints or open-coding an obscure cast. This commit therefore creates RCU_INITIALIZER(), which is intended to be used as follows: struct foo __rcu *p = RCU_INITIALIZER(&my_rcu_structure); This commit also applies RCU_INITIALIZER() to eliminate repeated open-coded obscure casts in __rcu_assign_pointer(), RCU_INIT_POINTER(), and RCU_POINTER_INITIALIZER(). This commit also inlines __rcu_assign_pointer() into its only caller, rcu_assign_pointer(). Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
