Subject: [PATCH] ublk: fix narrowing warnings in UAPI header

When a C++ file compiled with -Wc++11-narrowing includes the UAPI header
linux/ublk_cmd.h, ublk_sqe_addr_to_auto_buf_reg()'s assignments of u64
values to u8, u16, and u32 fields result in compiler warnings. Add
explicit casts to the intended types to avoid these warnings. Drop the
unnecessary bitmasks.
