PATCH 1/1 partition-generic: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with RCU_INIT_POINTER()
The uses of "rcu_assign_pointer()" are NULLing out the pointers. According to RCU_INIT_POINTER()'s block comment:

it is better to use it instead of rcu_assign_pointer() because it has a smaller overhead.
The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used:
