Subject: [PATCH net-next] inetpeer: inetpeer_invalidate_tree() cleanup

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

No need to use cmpxchg() in inetpeer_invalidate_tree() since we hold
base lock.

Also use correct rcu annotations to remove sparse errors
(CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER=y)

net/ipv4/inetpeer.c:149:20: error: incompatible types in comparison
expression (different address spaces)
net/ipv4/inetpeer.c:595:10: error: incompatible types in comparison
