Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] Fixes: 14a324f6a67e ("bpf: Wire up freeing of
 referenced kptr")

This patch fixes a warning generated by Sparse

"warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer"

by replacing p with *p in the WRITE_ONCE() macro

This enables the pointer to be cleared on map value delete,
hence clearing the warning.
