Casting __user off is something that sparse certainly should be warning
about (and it was, by the looks of it).

Reviewed-by: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin at arm.com>

(There remains a sparse warning in compat_ptrace_write_user(), where we
pass implicitly cast __user onto a pointer, under set_fs(KERNEL_DS).
I'm not sure what the most correct fix is there.)
