[PATCH] kernel: events: core: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with RCU_INIT_POINTER()

[Andreea-Cristina Bernat]

The use of "rcu_assign_pointer()" is NULLing out the pointer.
According to RCU_INIT_POINTER()'s block comment:
"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.

The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used:

- rcu_assign_pointer
+ RCU_INIT_POINTER
  (..., NULL)
