[ Upstream commitc538f400fa] The sqpoll thread is dereferenced with rcu read protection in one place, so it needs to be annotated as an __rcu type, and should consistently use rcu helpers for access and assignment to make sparse happy. Since most of the accesses occur under the sqd->lock, we can use rcu_dereference_protected() without declaring an rcu read section. Provide a simple helper to get the thread from a locked context.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
