[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH RFC 5/5] rcuwait: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with WRITE_ONCE

This suppresses a sparse error generated due to the recently added
rcu_assign_pointer sparse check below. It seems WRITE_ONCE should be
sufficient here.

types in comparison expression (different address spaces)
