[PATCH v2 tip/core/rcu 08/13] ipv6/ip6_gre: Apply rcu_access_pointer() to avoid sparse false positive

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <redacted>

The sparse checking for rcu_assign_pointer() was recently upgraded
to reject non-__kernel address spaces.  This also rejects __rcu,
which is almost always the right thing to do.  However, the use in
ip6gre_tunnel_unlink() is legitimate: It is assigning a pointer to an
element from an RCU-protected list, and all elements of this list are
already visible to caller.

This commit therefore silences this false positive by laundering the
pointer using rcu_access_pointer() as suggested by Josh Triplett.
