This allows further flexibility for some callers to implement
ad-hoc versions of the generic rcuwait_wait_event(). For example,
kvm will need this to maintain tracing semantics. The naming
is of course similar to what waitqueue apis offer.

I think that wants to be:

	rcu_assign_pointer(w->task, NULL);

There is a special case in rcu_assign_pointer() that looses the barrier,
but it will keep the __rcu sparse people happy. That is w->task is
__rcu, and WRITE_ONCE ignores that etc.. blah.

The alternative is using RCU_INIT_POINTER() I suppose.
