Linus,
This is a small fix where the trigger code used the wrong
rcu_dereference(). It required rcu_dereference_sched() instead of
the normal rcu_dereference(). It produces a nasty RCU lockdep splat
due to the incorrect rcu notation.

tracing: Use rcu_dereference_sched() for trace event triggers
As trace event triggers are now part of the mainline kernel, I added
my trace event trigger tests to my test suite I run on all my kernels.
Now these tests get run under different config options, and one of
those options is CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, which checks under lockdep that
the rcu locking primitives are being used correctly. This triggered
the following splat:

The cause is that the triggers are protected by rcu_read_lock_sched() but
the data is dereferenced with rcu_dereference() which expects it to
be protected with rcu_read_lock(). The proper reference should be
rcu_dereference_sched().
