This should pair an acquire with the release below

However, this seems abnormal, initcalls rarely do this kind of stuff
with global data..

The kernel crashes if this fs_initcall is raced with
iomem_get_mapping() due to the unconditional dereference, so I think
it can be safely switched to a simple assignment.
