I had the cp->initialized in mind here. My understanding is that this is
the point at which safe accessors are necessary. But I consider that
addressed.

I'm still not a fan of this try_lock() and -EAGAIN in write (and just
lock() in read approach), for the reasons I stated before. But it ain't
a deal-breaker for me. It is just that I don't get the benefit of the
busy looping userspace.
