For history, though, Dan had originally suggested the full RCU
protection is not necessary and it was only a barrier to force the NULL
check on teardown to resolve:

Things may have changed since then and other uses might be racing with
the teardown, so having it marked __rcu and fully protected sounds like
a good idea to me.
