Subject: [PATCH RFC 4/5] sched/topology: Annonate RCU pointers properly

The scheduler's topology code uses rcu_assign_pointer() to initialize
various pointers.

Let us annotate the pointers correctly which also help avoid future
bugs. This suppresses the new sparse errors caused by an annotation
check I added to rcu_assign_pointer().

Also replace rcu_assign_pointer call on rq->sd with WRITE_ONCE. This
should be sufficient for the rq->sd initialization.

This fixes sparse errors:
kernel//sched/topology.c:378:9: sparse: error: incompatible types in
comparison expression (different address spaces)
kernel//sched/topology.c:387:9: sparse: error: incompatible types in
comparison expression (different address spaces)
kernel//sched/topology.c:612:9: sparse: error: incompatible types in
comparison expression (different address spaces)
kernel//sched/topology.c:615:9: sparse: error: incompatible types in
comparison expression (different address spaces)
kernel//sched/topology.c:618:9: sparse: error: incompatible types in
comparison expression (different address spaces)
kernel//sched/topology.c:621:9: sparse: error: incompatible types in
comparison expression (different address spaces)
