A dereference of the __rcu pointer was noticed by sparse:
drivers/pci/p2pdma.c:199:44: sparse: sparse: dereference of noderef expression
The __rcu pointer should be dereferenced using
rcu_dereference_protected() instead of accessed directly. Its safe
to use rcu_derference_protected() seeing a reference is held on
the pgmap's percpu reference counter and thus it cannot disappear.

I believe that this change removes the warning is question.
With that said, looks good.

Applied with Chaitanya's reviewed-by to pci/p2pdma for v6.3, thanks!
