kernel: Fix sparse warning for ACCESS_ONCE

Commit 927609d ("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: 927609d ("kernel: tighten rules for ACCESS ONCE") Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <[email protected]>
