Subject: [PATCH 6/6] [2.6.29] epoll: use real type instead of void *

eventpoll.c uses void * in one place for no obvious reason; change
it to use the real type instead.

This patch is against 2.6.29-rc6; however, it doesn't need to go
into 2.6.29.  Use the -mm version instead if applying after the other
patches in -mm.
