Oh, right. Hmm, well, if the cmpxchg does an internal cast that
complicates things a bit. My immediate thought was to move the
unrcu_pointer() inside the calls to cmpxchg(), like:

diff --git a/kernel/bpf/devmap.c b/kernel/bpf/devmap.c

                                if (!dev || netdev != dev->dev)
                                        continue;

+                               odev = cmpxchg(unrcu_pointer(&dtab->netdev_map[i]), dev, NULL);
                                if (dev == odev)
                                        call_rcu(&dev->rcu,
                                                 __dev_map_entry_free);


But that seems to confuse sparse because these are ptr-to-ptr
constructs:

kernel/bpf/devmap.c:1101:40: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces):
kernel/bpf/devmap.c:1101:40:    struct bpf_dtab_netdev [noderef] __rcu *[noderef] __rcu *

kernel/bpf/devmap.c:1101:40:    struct bpf_dtab_netdev [noderef] __rcu **

which I'm not sure how to fix. And not really sure if it's the
semantically right thing to do either in this case...
