[PATCH 1/2] stm class: Mark src::link __rcu

From: Alexander Shishkin
Date: Tue Oct 06 2015 - 05:47:32 EST


Source device's link is protected with srcu, mark it as such to have
proper build-time validation of accesses to this field. The update
side that's dereferencing it under an update lock also needs an
accessor to dereference this field to keep sparse happy.
