There is no need for an explicit NULL pointer initialisation plus a
comment why it is okay. RCU_INIT_POINTER() can be used for NULL
initialisations and it is documented.
This has been build tested with gcc version 9.3.0 (Debian 9.3.0-22) on a
x86-64 defconfig.
Fixes: 094ac8cff7 ("futex: Relax the rcu_assign_pointer() assignment of mm->futex_phash in futex_mm_init()")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
