Since Kbuild hit a Sparse error in this function, I would also like to
add that the above implementation of cmpfunc() is not safe.

For eg: https://wandbox.org/permlink/MqGnA3nVg7eAN4I7

The following will be safer:

static int cmpfunc(const void *a, const void *b)
{
	int arg1 = *(const int*)a;
	int arg2 = *(const int*)b;
	return (arg1 > arg2) - (arg1 < arg2);
}

Thanks.
