Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ubifs: fix sort function prototype

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

The global sort() function expects a callback pointer to a function with two
void* arguments, but ubifs has a function with specific object types, which
causes a warning in clang-16 and higher:

fs/ubifs/lprops.c:1272:9: error: cast from 'int (*)(struct ubifs_info *, const struct ubifs_lprops *, int, struct ubifs_lp_stats *)' to 'ubifs_lpt_scan_callback' (aka 'int (*)(struct ubifs_info *, const struct ubifs_lprops *, int, void *)') converts to incompatible function type [-Werror,-Wcast-function-type-strict]
 1272 |                                     (ubifs_lpt_scan_callback)scan_check_cb,
      |                                     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Change the prototype to the regular one and cast the object pointers
locally instead.
