return the same pointer if update happens while in critical section.

 	If you are going to be fetching multiple fields from the
 	RCU-protected structure, using the local variable is of
 	course preferred.  Repeated rcu_dereference() calls look

 	Note that the value returned by rcu_dereference() is valid
 	only within the enclosing RCU read-side critical section.
