But that was a wrong assumption as the rcu head is a single link list where the last element is NULL. Instead, split the nr_entries integer so that "is_freed" is one bit and the nr_entries is the next 31 bits. As there shouldn't be more than 10 (currently there's at most 5 to 7 depending on the config), this should not be a problem.
