Subject: [RFC PATCH 06/21] list: Remove superfluous WRITE_ONCE() from hlist_nulls implementation
Commit 860c8802ace1 ("rcu: Use WRITE_ONCE() for assignments to ->pprev
for hlist_nulls") added WRITE_ONCE() invocations to hlist_nulls_add_head()
and hlist_nulls_del().
Since these functions should not ordinarily run concurrently with other
list accessors, restore the plain C assignments so that KCSAN can yell
if a data race occurs.
