sched.h: Annotate sighand_struct with __rcu
This patch fixes the following sparse errors by annotating the sighand_struct with __rcu kernel/fork.c:1511:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression kernel/exit.c:100:19: error: incompatible types in comparison expression kernel/signal.c:1370:27: error: incompatible types in comparison expression This fix introduces the following sparse error in signal.c due to checking the sighand pointer without rcu primitives: kernel/signal.c:1386:21: error: incompatible types in comparison expression This new sparse error is also fixed in this patch.
