[PATCH net-next v6 1/3] rculist: Add hlist_nulls_replace_rcu() and hlist_nulls_replace_init_rcu()

[xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev]

From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>

Add two functions to atomically replace RCU-protected hlist_nulls entries.

Keep using WRITE_ONCE() to assign values to ->next and ->pprev, as
mentioned in the patch below:
commit efd04f8a8b45 ("rcu: Use WRITE_ONCE() for assignments to ->next for
rculist_nulls")
commit 860c8802ace1 ("rcu: Use WRITE_ONCE() for assignments to ->pprev for
hlist_nulls")
