locking, compiler.h: Cast away attributes in the WRITE_ONCE() magic
The kernel build bot showed a new warning triggered by commit:
76695af20c01 ("locking, arch: use WRITE_ONCE()/READ_ONCE() in smp_store_release()/smp_load_acquire()")
because Sparse does not like WRITE_ONCE() accessing elements
from the (sparse) RCU address space:
fs/afs/inode.c:448:9: sparse: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
fs/afs/inode.c:448:9: expected struct afs_permits *__val
fs/afs/inode.c:448:9: got void [noderef] <asn:4>*<noident>
Solution is to force cast away the sparse attributes for the initializer
of the union in WRITE_ONCE().
(And as this now gets too long, also split the macro into multiple lines.)
