dm: use RCU_INIT_POINTER instead of rcu_assign_pointer in __unbind
Replace rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL). The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure. And in the case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize. So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL).
