netpoll: cleanup sparse warnings
With my recent commit I introduced two sparse warnings. Looking closer there were a few more in the same file, so I fixed them all up. Basic rcu pointer dereferencing suff. I've validated these changes using CONFIG_PROVE_RCU while starting and stopping netconsole repeatedly in bonded and non-bonded configurations Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> CC: fengguang.wu@intel.com CC: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> CC: eric.dumazet@gmail.com Signed-off-by: David S.
