Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 06/67] ALSA: pcm: Add __force to cast in
 snd_pcm_lib_read/write()

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

[ Upstream commit 95a48b7d4459948b6bacf809809cf01a7dc06d1d ]

The snd_pcm_lib_read() and snd_pcm_lib_write() inline functions have
the explicit cast from a user pointer to a kernel pointer, but they
lacks of __force prefix.

This fixes sparse warnings like:
  ./include/sound/pcm.h:1093:47: warning: cast removes address space of expression

Fixes: 68541213720d ("ALSA: pcm: Direct in-kernel read/write support")
