Should the swap() take place with @ipe_policy_lock held?

I'm guessing you are forcing a synchronize_rcu() here because you are
free()'ing @old in the caller, yes?  Looking at the code, I only see
one caller, update_policy().  With only one caller, why not free @old
directly in ipe_update_policy()?  Do you see others callers that would
do something different?

Why do you need the synchronize_rcu() call here?
