On this side of the #ifdef CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER statement then
__pmem isn't defined so it leads to a build error running a CHECKER on
today's linux-next.

I would define __pmem away, but I don't understand why __pmem and
CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER are related at all.  Maybe it should be
outside the if statement?
