They both work and are afaik identical. The first takes the per-cpu
address of rcu_dyntick and adds the offset of first_pass, then
transforms the per-cpu address to a linear address. The second
transforms the per-cpu address of rcu_dyntick, transforms it to a linear
address and then adds the offset of first_pass, IOW:
(&rcu_dyntick + offset) + per_cpu_offset ==
(&rcu_dyntick + per_cpu_offset) + offset
