This gets rid of a warning caused by the test in rcu_assign_pointer.
I tried to fix rcu_assign_pointer, but that devolved into a long set
of discussions about doing it right that came to no real solution.
Since the test in rcu_assign_pointer for constant NULL would never
succeed in fib_trie, just open code instead.
