By the way, my understanding is all pointer could be accessed
atomicly guaranteed by compiler. In my opinion, we generally
use READ_ONCE() on pointers for other uses (such as, avoid
accessing a variable twice due to compiler optimization and
it will break some logic potentially or need some data
dependency barrier...)
