[PATCH 4/4] Docs/RCU/rculist_nulls: Drop unnecessary '_release' in insert function

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Thu May 18 2023 - 18:40:31 EST


The document says we can avoid extra smp_rmb() in lockless_lookup() and
extra _release() in insert function when hlist_nulls is used. However,
the example code snippet for the insert function is still using the
extra _release(). Drop it.
