These patches fix various RCU API usage issues found due to sparse errors as a result of the recent check to add rcu_check_sparse() to rcu_assign_pointer().
This is very early RFC stage, and is only build tested. I am also only sending to the RCU group for initial review before sending to LKML. Thanks for any feedback! There are still more usages that cause errors such as rbtree which I am looking into.
