I'm not convinced. It wouldn't surprise me if it was possible
to generate endless cycles with rcu freed memory on some rebalancing
operation. If you think I'm wrong please show working code.

Also please explain clearly for the module maintainers and me
what the problem with my original simple trivially show
to be correct solution is.

Thanks,
