Commit 02b99b38f3d9 ("rcu: Add a hlist_nulls_unhashed_lockless() function")
introduced the (as yet unused) hlist_nulls_unhashed_lockless() function
to avoid KCSAN reports when an RCU reader checks the 'hashed' status
of an 'hlist_nulls' concurrently undergoing modification.
Remove the unused function and add a READ_ONCE() to hlist_nulls_unhashed(),
just like we do already for hlist_nulls_empty().
