C MP+onceassign+derefonce

(*
 * Result: Never
 *
 * This litmus test demonstrates that rcu_assign_pointer() and
 * rcu_dereference() suffice to ensure that an RCU reader will not see
 * pre-initialization garbage when it traverses an RCU-protected data
 * structure containing a newly inserted element.
