[RFC PATCH] rcu: rcupdate.h: Add missing parentheses around macro pointer dereference

[Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>]

linux/rcupdate.h macros use the *p parameter without parentheses, e.g.:

  typeof(*p)

rather than

  typeof(*(p))

The following test-case shows how it can generate confusion due to C
operator precedence being reversed compared to the expectations:

    #define m(p) \
    do { \
            __typeof__(*p) v = 0; \
    } while (0)

    void fct(unsigned long long *p1)
    {
            m(p1 + 1);      /* works */
            m(1 + p1);      /* broken */
    }
