Hrm. So do we have something that checks for double-use of a RCU head at
the moment ? (using call_rcu() twice on the same head without being
certain that the first callback have finished its execution).
I think that hiding rcu head initialization into call_rcu() is one more
step towards misuses that will silently corrupt rcu head lists. So I
think we should first add the double-use debugging option before we
remove the RCU head initializations.
Thanks,
Mathieu
