With clang's kernel control flow integrity (kCFI, CONFIG_CFI_CLANG),
indirect call targets are validated against the expected function
pointer prototype to make sure the call target is valid to help mitigate
ROP attacks. If they are not identical, there is a failure at run time,
which manifests as either a kernel panic or thread getting killed. A
proposed warning in clang aims to catch these at compile time, which
reveals:

The type of the second parameter in the prototypes of ->current_state()
and ->nodedb_state() ('u32') does not match the implementations, which
have a second parameter type of 'enum efc_sm_event'. Update the
prototypes to have the correct second parameter type, clearing up all
the warnings and CFI failures.
