From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> Because the Tasks RCU ->rtp_exit_list is initialized at rcu_init() time while there is only one CPU running with interrupts disabled, it is not possible for an exiting task to encounter an uninitialized list. This commit therefore replaces the conditional initialization with a WARN_ON_ONCE().
