Roman Gushchin d29ab6e1fa bpf: bpf_prog_array_alloc() should return a generic non-rcu pointer
Currently the return type of the bpf_prog_array_alloc() is
struct bpf_prog_array __rcu *, which is not quite correct.
Obviously, the returned pointer is a generic pointer, which
is valid for an indefinite amount of time and it's not shared
with anyone else, so there is no sense in marking it as __rcu.

This change eliminate the following sparse warnings:
kernel/bpf/core.c:1544:31: warning: incorrect type in return expression (different address spaces)
kernel/bpf/core.c:1544:31:    expected struct bpf_prog_array [noderef] <asn:4>*
kernel/bpf/core.c:1544:31:    got void *
kernel/bpf/core.c:1548:17: warning: incorrect type in return expression (different address spaces)
kernel/bpf/core.c:1548:17:    expected struct bpf_prog_array [noderef] <asn:4>*
kernel/bpf/core.c:1548:17:    got struct bpf_prog_array *<noident>
kernel/bpf/core.c:1681:15: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
kernel/bpf/core.c:1681:15:    expected struct bpf_prog_array *array
kernel/bpf/core.c:1681:15:    got struct bpf_prog_array [noderef] <asn:4>*

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
