  kernel: Change ASSIGN_ONCE(val, x) to WRITE_ONCE(x, val) (2015-01-13 20:39:09 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
As discussed on LKML http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=142081181707596
it was agreement that WRITE_ONCE(x, val) is better than ASSIGN_ONCE(val, x)

Lets change that for 3.19 as 3.19 has no user yet, but the first users
will hit linux-next soon.
