Subject: [PATCH] PCI/P2PDMA: Annotate RCU dereference
Precedence: bulk

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.
