Madhuparna Bhowmik 8d1a7aae89 btrfs: annotate device name rcu_string with __rcu
This patch fixes the following sparse errors in
fs/btrfs/super.c in function btrfs_show_devname()

  fs/btrfs/super.c: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces):
  fs/btrfs/super.c:    struct rcu_string [noderef] <asn:4> *
  fs/btrfs/super.c:    struct rcu_string *

The error was because of the following line in function btrfs_show_devname():

  if (first_dev)
	 seq_escape(m, rcu_str_deref(first_dev->name), " \t\n\\");

Annotating the btrfs_device::name member with __rcu fixes the sparse
error.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
