[IPV4] fib_trie: fix warning from rcu_assign_poinger
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. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Acked-by: Paul E.
