[ Upstream commit 64d7d5abe2 ]

rcu_derefence_raw() should not have been used here, it concealed this bug.
Its used because struct rb_node lacks __rcu annotated pointers, so plain
rcu_derefence causes sparse warnings.

The major tradeoff is that rcu_derefence_raw() doesn't warn when the caller
isn't in a rcu read section.

Extend the rcu read lock scope accordingly and cause sparse warnings,
those warnings are the lesser evil.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
