net: reintroduce missing rcu_assign_pointer() calls
commit a9b3cd7f32 (rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to RCU_INIT_POINTER) did a lot of incorrect changes, since it did a complete conversion of rcu_assign_pointer(x, y) to RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, y). We miss needed barriers, even on x86, when y is not NULL. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> CC: Paul E.
