This fixes sparse warnings like the one below:

drivers/net/team/team.c:953:25: warning: incorrect type in return expression (different address spaces)
drivers/net/team/team.c:953:25:    expected struct netpoll_info *
drivers/net/team/team.c:953:25:    got struct netpoll_info [noderef] <asn:4>*npinfo

This part is wrong, please remove the __rcu annotation in function
definition.

To perform " rcu_assign_pointer(p->next, next); ", there is no need to
annotate "next" with __rcu
