[RESEND PATCH v2] trace: fix the errors caused by incompatible type of RCU variables

[Chunyan Zhang]

The variables which are processed by RCU functions should be annotated
as RCU, otherwise sparse will report the errors like below:

"error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different
address spaces)"

Signed-off-by: Chunyan Zhang <zhang.chunyan@xxxxxxxxxx>

Changes in v2:
* Addressed Steven's comments
  - Use rcu_dereference_protected() instead of rcu_dereference_raw_notrace()
* Rebased on v4.12-rc1
