Subject: [PATCH v2 5/6] rcuwait: Annotate task_struct with __rcu

This suppresses sparse error generated due to the recently added
rcu_assign_pointer sparse check.

percpu-rwsem.c:162:9: sparse: error: incompatible types in comparison expression
exit.c:316:16: sparse: error: incompatible types in comparison expression
