When CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL is off, rtnl_net_dereference() is the
static inline wrapper of rtnl_dereference() returning a plain (void *)
pointer to make sure net is always evaluated as requested in [0].

But, it makes sparse complain [1] when the pointer has __rcu annotation:

  net/ipv4/devinet.c:674:47: sparse: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces)
  net/ipv4/devinet.c:674:47: sparse:    expected void *p
  net/ipv4/devinet.c:674:47: sparse:    got struct in_ifaddr [noderef] __rcu *

Also, if we evaluate net as (void *) in a macro, then the compiler
in turn fails to build due to -Werror=unused-value.

  #define rtnl_net_dereference(net, p)                  \
        ({                                              \
                (void *)net;                            \
                rtnl_dereference(p);                    \
        })

  net/ipv4/devinet.c: In function ‘inet_rtm_deladdr’:
  ./include/linux/rtnetlink.h:154:17: error: statement with no effect [-Werror=unused-value]
    154 |                 (void *)net;                            \
  net/ipv4/devinet.c:674:21: note: in expansion of macro ‘rtnl_net_dereference’
    674 |              (ifa = rtnl_net_dereference(net, *ifap)) != NULL;
        |                     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let's go back to the original simplest macro.

Note that checkpatch complains about this approach, but it's one-shot and
less noisy than the other two.

Thanks,

I was able to reproduce the build problem as described.
