Subject: False positive in checkpatch

Hello!

The checkpatch.pl script complains as follows:

ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:WxB)
#57: FILE: include/linux/rcupdate.h:564:
+		ACCESS_ONCE(p) = (typeof(*(v)) __force space *)(v); \

Of course, the two uses of '*' are doing different things, so it should
be OK for the spacing to be different.

Could you please fix this?

							Thanx, Paul
