[ Upstream commit 62461ac2e5b6520b6d65fc6d7d7b4b8df4b848d8 ]
The percpu member of this structure is declared as: struct ... ** __percpu member; So its type is: __percpu pointer to pointer to struct ...
But looking at how it's used, its type should be: pointer to __percpu pointer to struct ... and it should thus be declared as: struct ... * __percpu *member;
So fix the placement of '__percpu' in the definition of this structures.
This silents a few Sparse's warnings like: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces) expected void const [noderef] asn:3 *__vpp_verify got struct sched_domain **
