Commit 32927393dc1c ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler")
removed various __user annotations from function signatures as part of its
refactoring.
It also removed the __user annotation for proc_dohung_task_timeout_secs()
at its declaration in ./sched/sysctl.h, but not at its definition in
./kernel/hung_task.c.
Hence, sparse complains:
kernel/hung_task.c:271:5: error: \
symbol 'proc_dohung_task_timeout_secs' redeclared with different type \
(incompatible argument 3 (different address spaces))
Adjust the annotation at the definition fitting to that refactoring to make
sparse happy again, which also resolves this warning from sparse:
kernel/hung_task.c:277:52: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 \
(different address spaces)
kernel/hung_task.c:277:52: expected void *
kernel/hung_task.c:277:52: got void [noderef] __user *buffer
No functional change. No change in object code.

Christoph, can I get quick ack from you on a fix to your refactoring?
Andrew, please pick this minor non-urgent clean-up patch.
