[PATCH 03/10] rcu: Mark __rcu_access_pointer() as context_unsafe()

["Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>]

A simple comparison of a pointer returned by rcu_access_pointer() results
in a context-analysis warning for lockless inspection of the RCU-protected
(also known as __rcu-protected) pointer.  This can be suppressed by
placing context_unsafe() calls around calls rcu_access_pointer(),
but this is messy and distracting.  This commit therefore wraps the
underlying __rcu_access_pointer() macro with a call to context_unsafe(),
thereby informing the context-analysis code that rcu_access_pointer()
may safely be invoked outside of an RCU read-side critical section.
