Subject: [095/104] trace_events_filter: Use rcu_assign_pointer() when setting ftrace_event_call->filter

3.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org>

commit d3d9acf646679c1981032b0985b386d12fccc60c upstream.

ftrace_event_call->filter is sched RCU protected but didn't use
rcu_assign_pointer().  Use it.

TODO: Add proper __rcu annotation to call->filter and all its users.

-v2: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER() for %NULL clearing as suggested by Eric.
