3.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit c5b19946eb76c67566aae6a84bf2b10ad59295ea upstream.
Commit 927609d622a3 ("kernel: tighten rules for ACCESS ONCE") results in
sparse warnings like "Using plain integer as NULL pointer" - Let's add a
type cast to the dummy assignment.
To avoid warnings lik "sparse: warning: cast to restricted __hc32" we also
use __force on that cast.
Fixes: 927609d622a3 ("kernel: tighten rules for ACCESS ONCE")
