[PATCH] qib: qib_qp: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with RCU_INIT_POINTER()

[PATCH] qib: qib_qp: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with RCU_INIT_POINTER()

[Andreea-Cristina Bernat]

According to RCU_INIT_POINTER()'s block comment 3.a, it can be used if
"3.   The referenced data structure has already been exposed to readers either
at compile time or via rcu_assign_pointer() -and-
 a.   You have not made -any- reader-visible changes to this structure since
then".

This case fulfills the conditions above because between the
rcu_dereference_protected() call and the rcu_assign_pointer() call there is no
update of that value.
Therefore, this patch makes the replacement.

The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used:

- rcu_assign_pointer
+ RCU_INIT_POINTER

(
 rtnl_dereference(...)
|
 rcu_dereference_protected(...)
) )

Why not consolidate this with http://marc.info/?l=linux-rdma&m=140836578119485&w=2 so there is just one patch?
