The reason WRITE_ONCE() is only on the map field is because that's the
one that could be changed by a remote CPU (in bpf_clear_redirect_map())
- everything else is only accessed on the local CPU.

As for whether it's strictly needed from a memory model PoV, I'm not
actually sure (and should we be using smp_{store_release,load_acquire}()
instead?); I view it mostly as an annotation to make it clear that the
map field is 'special' in this respect...
