PATCH 1/1 ipv6: ip6_gre: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with RCU_INIT_POINTER()
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 rtnl_dereference() 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:
