[PATCH] block: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) in blk-cgroup.c

From: Monam Agarwal
Date: Sat Mar 22 2014 - 03:05:06 EST


This patch replaces rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL)

Since rcu_assign_pointer() is to ensure that the initialization of a structure
is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure. So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL)
can be safely converted to RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL).
