afs: Mark afs_net::ws_cell as __rcu and set using rcu functions
The afs_net::ws_cell member is sometimes used under RCU conditions from within an seq-readlock. It isn't, however, marked __rcu and it isn't set using the proper RCU barrier-imposing functions. Fix this by annotating it with __rcu and using appropriate barriers to make sure accesses are correctly ordered. Without this, the code can produce the following warning: >> fs/afs/proc.c:151:24: sparse: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces) Fixes: f044c8847bb6 ("afs: Lay the groundwork for supporting network namespaces") Reported-by: kbuild test robot <lkp@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
