Subject: stackleak: let stack_erasing_sysctl take a kernel pointer buffer
Commit 32927393dc1c ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler")
changed ctl_table.proc_handler to take a kernel pointer. Adjust the
signature of stack_erasing_sysctl to match ctl_table.proc_handler which
fixes the following sparse warning:
kernel/stackleak.c:31:50: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces)
kernel/stackleak.c:31:50: expected void *
kernel/stackleak.c:31:50: got void [noderef] __user *buffer
Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200907093253.13656-1-tklauser@xxxxxxxxxx
Fixes: 32927393dc1c ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler")
