Thank you, Martin!  I have applied your Acked-by, but please let me
know if that over-interprets your "No objections" above.

I do not intend to actually remove rcu_swap_protected() until 5.6 for
exactly this sort of thing.  My plan is to take another pass through
the tree after 5.5 comes out, and these will be caught at that time.

Does that work for you?
