I queued this, but reworked the commit log and fixed a couple of
irritating checkpatch issues that were in the original code.
Does this work for you?
Thanx, Paul

treewide: Rename rcu_dereference_raw_notrace() to _check()
The rcu_dereference_raw_notrace() API name is confusing. It is equivalent
to rcu_dereference_raw() except that it also does sparse pointer checking.
There are only a few users of rcu_dereference_raw_notrace(). This patches
renames all of them to be rcu_dereference_raw_check() with the "_check()"
indicating sparse checking.
