Thanks but I have no intent to fix this.

Between rcu_dereference_raw() not giving sparse warnings but also not
providing any hints when callers don't hold rcu read lock and plain
rcu_dereference() that does give runtime coverage but results in above
sparse output I will pick the latter and just ignore these warnings.
