capability: erase checker warnings about struct __user_cap_data_struct
Currently Sparse warns the following when compiling kernel/capability.c: kernel/capability.c:191:35: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces) kernel/capability.c:191:35: expected void const *from kernel/capability.c:191:35: got struct __user_cap_data_struct [noderef] __user * kernel/capability.c:168:14: warning: dereference of noderef expression ...... (multiple noderef warnings on different locations) kernel/capability.c:244:29: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) kernel/capability.c:244:29: expected void *to kernel/capability.c:244:29: got struct __user_cap_data_struct [noderef] __user ( * )[2] kernel/capability.c:247:42: warning: dereference of noderef expression ...... (multiple noderef warnings on different locations) It seems that defining `struct __user_cap_data_struct` together with `cap_user_data_t` make Sparse believe that the struct is `noderef` as well. Separate their definitions to clarify their respective attributes.
