[PATCH 2/3] kernel/SRCU: provide a static initializer

2013-03-19 Thread Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
There are macros for static initializer for the three out of four possible notifier types, that are: ATOMIC_NOTIFIER_HEAD() BLOCKING_NOTIFIER_HEAD() RAW_NOTIFIER_HEAD() This patch provides a static initilizer for the forth type to make it complete. Signed-off-by: Sebastian
