rcu: Upgrade rcu_swap_protected() to rcu_replace_pointer()
Although the rcu_swap_protected() macro follows the example of
swap(), the interactions with RCU make its update of its argument
somewhat counter-intuitive. This commit therefore introduces
an rcu_replace_pointer() that returns the old value of the RCU
pointer instead of doing the argument update. Once all the uses of
rcu_swap_protected() are updated to instead use rcu_replace_pointer(),
rcu_swap_protected() will be removed.
