Subject: [PATCH] ext4/ioctl.c: copy_{from,to}_user expect __user pointers

This quiets the sparse noise:

warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces)
   expected void const [noderef] <asn:1>*from
   got struct fstrim_range *<noident>
warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
   expected void [noderef] <asn:1>*to
   got struct fstrim_range *<noident>
