    lib/bitmap.c: quiet sparse noise about address space · b9c321fd

    __bitmap_parse() and __bitmap_parselist() both take a pointer to a kernel
    buffer as a parameter and then cast it to a pointer to user buffer for use
    in cases when the parameter is_user indicates that the buffer is actually
    located in user space.  This casting, and the casts in the callers,
    results in sparse noise like the following:
    
    	warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
    	  expected char const [noderef] <asn:1>*ubuf
    	  got char const *buf
    	warning: cast removes address space of expression
    
    Since these casts are intentional, use __force to quiet the noise.
