Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 10/10] security/safesetid: Replace rcu_swap_protected() with rcu_replace()

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...nel.org>

This commit replaces the use of rcu_swap_protected() with the more
intuitively appealing rcu_replace() as a step towards removing
rcu_swap_protected().
