Good catch, but commit 292d1bb2 ("rcu: Several rcu_segcblist functions
can be static") beat you to it by a month or two. This commit is still
in -rcu, but will be part of my pull request in a couple of weeks.

See -rcu branch "dev":

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git

Thanx, Paul
