Thanks for looking at this patch.  Using RCU_POINTER_INIT in my
updated patch below.

Maybe, but this is a very rare code path (using EPOLL_CTL_MOD to remove
a wakeup source), and synchronize_rcu gets called later, too:

	wakeup_source_unregister
		wakeup_source_remove
			synchronize_rcu

Done.

Subject: [PATCH] epoll: use RCU protect wakeup_source in epitem

This prevents wakeup_source destruction when a user hits the item with
EPOLL_CTL_MOD while ep_poll_callback is running.

Tested with CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER=y and "make fs/eventpoll.o C=2"
