Or I could make rb_replace_node() RCU friendly.  What do you think of the
attached changes (split into appropriate patches)?  It's a case of changing
the order in which pointers are set in the rbtree code and inserting a
barrier.

I also wonder if rb_insert_color() needs some attention - though possibly
that's okay as it doesn't start with unset pointers (since you call
rb_link_node_rcu() first).
