[PATCH] compiler.h: Fix sparse check errors

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

The #define __pmem was put at the wrong place, inside a
__rcu check. The way it is, if CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER is
not defined, it will produce thousands of errors like:

./arch/x86/include/asm/io.h:251:27: error: void declaration
./arch/x86/include/asm/io.h:251:27: error: Expected ; at end of declaration
./arch/x86/include/asm/io.h:251:27: error: got *

making sparse pretty much useless, due to the excess of noise.

So, move the define out of the sparse RCU pointer check.
