[PATCH] kfifo: remove unnecessary type check

[Yuanhan Liu <yliu.null@gmail.com>]

From: Yuanhan Liu <yuanhan.liu@linux.intel.com>

Firstly, this kind of type check doesn't work. It does something similay
like following:
	void * __dummy = NULL;
	__buf = __dummy;

__dummy is defined as void *. Thus it will not trigger warnings as
expected.

Second, we don't need that kind of check. Since the prototype
of __kfifo_out is:
	unsigned int __kfifo_out(struct __kfifo *fifo,  void *buf, unsigned int len)

buf is defined as void *, so we don't need do the type check. Remove it.
