__clear_user() already takes a void* argument, so the cast is hopefully
unneeded and undesirable. The same applies to many other
architectures. If someone is passing a non-pointer type to
__clear_user() then that's potentially a bad thing which we want to
know about.
IOW, someone screwed up and everyone copied it :(
