.35 would be good. ;-) But I can make .36 work if need be.
Please see below for the patch. Alternatively, feel free to grab commit
b97181f24212f4c29197890ce1b2b9100bcc184d from -tip or from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-2.6-rcu.git

commit b97181f24212f4c29197890ce1b2b9100bcc184d

fs: remove all rcu head initializations, except on_stack initializations
Remove all rcu head inits. We don't care about the RCU head state before passing
it to call_rcu() anyway. Only leave the "on_stack" variants so debugobjects can
keep track of objects on stack.
