Subject: [for-next][PATCH 26/34] trace: Use rcu_dereference_raw for hooks from trace-event subsystem

From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@...lfernandes.org>

Since we switched to using SRCU for tracepoints used in the idle path,
we can no longer use rcu_dereference_sched for dereferencing points in
trace-event hooks.

Since tracepoints can now use either SRCU or sched-RCU, just use
rcu_dereference_raw for traceevents just like we're doing when
dereferencing the tracepoint table.

This prevents an RCU warning reported by Masami:
