From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@xxxxxxxxxx>
This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.
===============
commit 43239cbe79fc369f5d2160bd7f69e28b5c50a58c upstream.
Feedback has shown that WRITE_ONCE(x, val) is easier to use than
ASSIGN_ONCE(val,x).
There are no in-tree users yet, so lets change it for 3.19.
