Like this?

    rcu: Provide functions for determining if call_rcu() has been invoked

    This commit adds rcu_head_init() and rcu_head_after_call_rcu()
    functions to help RCU users detect when another CPU has passed
    the specified rcu_head structure and function to call_rcu().
    The rcu_head_init() should be invoked before making the structure
    visible to RCU readers, and then the rcu_head_after_call_rcu()
    may be invoked from within an RCU read-side critical section on an
    rcu_head structure that was obtained during a traversal of the data
    structure in question.  The rcu_head_after_call_rcu() function will
    return true if the rcu_head structure has already been passed (with
    the specified function) to call_rcu(), otherwise it will return false.

    If rcu_head_init() has not been invoked on the rcu_head structure
    or if the rcu_head (AKA callback) has already been invoked, then
    rcu_head_after_call_rcu() will do WARN_ON_ONCE().
