-Add __rcu annotation on table to fix sparse warnings:
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:279:25: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:279:25:    expected struct net_device *<noident>
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:279:25:    got void [noderef] <asn:4>*<noident>
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:376:17: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)

-Access table with rcu_dereference (fixes the following sparse errors):
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:278:25: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces)
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:391:17: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces)

Hi Fabian

Have you tested this running the kernel with following config options :

CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y

LOCKDEP should complain loudly, if not, we should file a bug !

Hint : Use rcu_access_pointer(), and check that LOCKDEP is happy with
that.

Thanks !
