[PATCH 2/2] bpf: Fix warning of incorrect type in return expression

[Jules Irenge <jbi.octave@gmail.com>]

Sparse reports a warning at bpf_array_map_seq_start()

"warning: incorrect type in return expression (different address spaces)"

The root cause is the function expect a return of type void *
but instead got a percpu value in one of the return.

To fix this a variable of type void * is created
and the complainining return value is saved into the variable and return.

Fix incorrect type in return expression
