rcu: Remove return value from RCU_INIT_POINTER()

Browse Source 
The return value from RCU_INIT_POINTER() is not used, and using it
would be quite ugly, for example:

	q = RCU_INIT_POINTER(global_p, p);

To prevent this sort of ugliness from appearing, this commit wraps
RCU_INIT_POINTER() in a do-while loop.
