That's odd.  I got this complaint when I had forgotten to add the
rcu_dereference() call, but not in its current state.  Mind you, I get
swamped with errors and warnings from all over the system (starting with
ptrace.c, signal.c, exit.c, fork.c, audit.c, ftrace.c,
selinux/netnode.c, ...) when I add
"M=kernel" to my build command, so I start to wonder how valid that
result is or that flag.  Where is M=kernel documented?
