Menglong Dong ceb5d8d367 tracing: fprobe: fix suspicious rcu usage in fprobe_entry
rcu_read_lock() is not needed in fprobe_entry, but rcu_dereference_check()
is used in rhltable_lookup(), which causes suspicious RCU usage warning:

  WARNING: suspicious RCU usage

As we discussed in [1], fix this by using guard(rcu)() in fprobe_entry()
to protect the rhltable_lookup() and rhl_for_each_entry_rcu() with
rcu_read_lock and suppress this warning.

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 reStructuredText 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.
