Subject: [PATCH] mm: Make {,set}page_address() static inline if WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL

{,set}page_address() are macros if WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL.
If !WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL, they're plain C functions.

If someone calls them with a void *, this pointer is auto-converted to
struct page * if !WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL, but causes a build failure on
architectures using WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL (arc, m68k and sparc):

drivers/md/bcache/bset.c: In function ‘__btree_sort’:
drivers/md/bcache/bset.c:1190: warning: dereferencing ‘void *’ pointer
drivers/md/bcache/bset.c:1190: error: request for member ‘virtual’ in something not a structure or union

Convert them to static inline functions to fix this. There are already
plenty of  users of struct page members inside <linux/mm.h>, so there's no
reason to keep them as macros.
