commit cf78c8772c9dc26a36c0e5eae1262cc396bbfb3f
Author: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

    rcu: Add a hlist_nulls_unhashed_lockless() function
    
    This commit adds an hlist_nulls_unhashed_lockless() to allow lockless
    checking for whether or note an hlist_nulls_node is hashed or not.
    While in the area, this commit also adds a docbook comment to the existing
    hlist_nulls_unhashed() function.
