[for-next][PATCH 5/5] tracing: Fix sparse RCU warning

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Thu Oct 29 2015 - 03:11:29 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

p_start() and p_stop() are seq_file functions that match. Teach sparse to
know that rcu_read_lock_sched() that is taken by p_start() is released by
p_stop.
