mm/page_reporting: replace rcu_access_pointer() with rcu_dereference_protected()
Page reporting fetches pr_dev_info using rcu_access_pointer(), which is
for safely fetching a pointer that will not be dereferenced but could
concurrently updated. The code indeed does not dereference pr_dev_info
after fetching it using rcu_access_pointer(), but it fetches the pointer
while concurrent updates to the pointer is avoided by holding the update
side lock, page_reporting_mutex.
In the case, rcu_dereference_protected() should be used instead because it
provides better readability and performance on some cases, as
rcu_dereference_protected() avoids use of READ_ONCE(). Replace the
rcu_access_pointer() calls with rcu_dereference_protected().
