The warning is pointing out that the type of new ('void *') and
&bpf_dispatcher_nop_func are not compatible, which could have side
effects coming out of a conditional operator due to promotion rules.

Add the explicit cast to 'void *' to make it clear that this is
expected, as __BPF_DISPATCHER_UPDATE() expands to a call to
__static_call_update(), which expects a 'void *' as its final argument.
