[PATCH v8 0/3] Introduce RCU string API

[Omar Sandoval <osandov@osandov.com>]

This patch series on top of v3.18 introduces the RCU string API and cleans up
the wreckage of sparse warnings which follow from it (shown here from when the
patch was briefly in the btrfs integration tree):

Version 8 combines the original patch with another patch series I posted to fix
these warnings, which fixes the botched __rcu annotations that caused some of
the warnings and refactors the existing uses of rcustring to get rid of the
rest.

It'd be nice to see this squeeze in the merge window.

Thanks!

v8: Get the __rcu annotations right, clean up RCU string-related sparse noise
v7: Add arguments to kernel doc for printk wrappers, use ##__VA_ARGS
v6: Add header dependencies to rcustring.h
v5: Rebase against v3.18-rc3
v4: Don't return anything from the printk wrappers on the assumption that
printk will return void someday
v3: Add __rcu annotation to relevant functions, add Paul's ack and Josh's
review
