----------------------------------------------------------------
Enable -Wcast-function-type

Hi Linus,

Please, pull the following patch that globally enables
-Wcast-function-type.

We need to make sure new function cast mismatches are not
introduced in the kernel in order to avoid tripping CFI
checking.

Thanks!
