Sparse reports many warnings of the form: drivers/md/raid5.c:1476:16: warning: dereference of noderef expression This is because all struct raid5_percpu definitions get marked as __percpu when really only the pointer in r5conf should have that annotation. Fix this by moving the defnition of raid5_precpu out of the definition of struct r5conf.
