    tracing: Add rcu annotation around file->filter accesses
    
    Running sparse on trace_events_filter.c triggered several warnings about
    file->filter being accessed directly even though it's annotated with __rcu.
    
    Add rcu_dereference() around it and shuffle the logic slightly so that
    it's always referenced via accessor functions.
