locking/barriers: Suppress sparse warnings in lockless_dereference()
After Peter's commit: 331b6d8c ("locking/barriers: Validate lockless_dereference() is used on a pointer type") ... we get a lot of sparse warnings (one for every rcu_dereference, and more) since the expression here is assigning to the wrong address space. Instead of validating that 'p' is a pointer this way, instead make it fail compilation when it's not by using sizeof(*(p)). This will not cause any sparse warnings (tested, likely since the address space is irrelevant for sizeof), and will fail compilation when 'p' isn't a pointer type. Tested-by: Paul E.
