An alternate, approach would be to create a variant of devm_add_action_or_reset() which expects __percpu data. This would avoid discarding the __percpu annotation, and any value it may have between the casts added by this patch. However, doing so appears to require a significant amount of plumbing. And, as far as I can see, the code updated by this patch would be the only user of it. So this patch takes a simpler approach. No functional change intended. Compile tested only.
