Yeah.  It _shoudn't_ matter, but there's no reason not keep things tidy and
consistent.

The former, because init_srcu_struct() can fail (allocates memory), whereas
xa_init() is a "pure" initialization routine.

Yes, that should work.

Chao, am I missing something?  Or did we just end up with unnecessarly convoluted
code as things evolved?

It should be impossible to, hence the WARN.  I added the check for two reasons:
(1) to help document that end is exclusive, and (2) to guard against future bugs.
