[PATCH 1/2] events: callchain: Annotate RCU pointer with __rcu

From: Amol Grover
Date: Wed Jan 29 2020 - 11:09:13 EST


Fixes following instances of sparse error
error: incompatible types in comparison expression
(different address spaces)
kernel/events/callchain.c:66:9: error: incompatible types in comparison
kernel/events/callchain.c:96:9: error: incompatible types in comparison
kernel/events/callchain.c:161:19: error: incompatible types in comparison

This introduces the following warning
kernel/events/callchain.c:65:17: warning: incorrect type in assignment
