According to RCU_INIT_POINTER()'s block comment 3.a, it can be used if "1. This use of RCU_INIT_POINTER() is NULLing out the pointer" it is better to use it instead of rcu_assign_pointer() because it has a smaller overhead. "3. The referenced data structure has already been exposed to readers either at compile time or via rcu_assign_pointer() -and- a. You have not made -any- reader-visible changes to this structure since then". These cases fulfill the conditions above because between the rcu_dereference_protected() call and the rcu_assign_pointer() call there is no update of that value. Therefore, this patch makes the replacement.
