    locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
    
    Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
    coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.
    
    For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
    preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
    former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
    ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
    churn.
    
    However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
    correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
    accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
    ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
    coccinelle script:
    
    ----
    // Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
    // WRITE_ONCE()
    
    // $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch
