Björn and Alexei should carefully review. Because WRITE_ONCE is a
macro that expands to a GNU C statement expression, which returns the
last statement, this code was previously assigning q->prod_tail to
itself, now it's assigning it to q->prod_head. I assume that was not
intentional, but am unfamiliar with the code.
