Subject: [PATCH] kernel.h: Silence sparse warning in lower_32_bits

I keep getting sparse warnings in crypto such as:

  CHECK   ../drivers/crypto/ccree/cc_hash.c
../drivers/crypto/ccree/cc_hash.c:49:9: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (47b5481dbefa4fa4 becomes befa4fa4)

This patch removes the warning by adding a mask to keep sparse
happy.
