I don't get the point of the RCU version of rb_find_add as RCU itself
doesn't provide enough protection for modification of the tree, right?
So in uprobes code you do rb_find_add_rcu() under uprobes_treelock +
uprobes_seqcount locks. Wouldn't it be just as fine to do plain
non-RCU rb_find_add() in that case? After all, you do plain rb_erase
under the same set of locks.
So what's the point of this one?
