Since the update is done using rcu-safe methods, do we even need the
spin_lock? Neil? Paul?
Yes, we do. Rcu-safe methods only apply to read side operations, we still need
traditional mutual exclusion on the write side of the operation. That is to say
we need to protect the list against multiple writers at the same time, and for
that we need a spin lock.
