[PATCH v2] firewire-core: remove cast of function callback

In 1394 OHCI specification, Isochronous Receive DMA context has several
modes. One of mode is 'BufferFill' and Linux FireWire stack uses it to
receive isochronous packets for multiple isochronous channel as
FW_ISO_CONTEXT_RECEIVE_MULTICHANNEL.

The mode is not used by in-kernel driver, while it's available for
userspace. The character device driver in firewire-core includes
cast of function callback for the mode since the type of callback
function is different from the other modes. The case is inconvenient
to effort of Control Flow Integrity builds due to
-Wcast-function-type warning.

This commit removes the cast. A inline helper function is newly added
to initialize isochronous context for the mode. The helper function
arranges isochronous context to assign specific callback function
after call of existent kernel API. It's noticeable that the number of
isochronous channel, speed, the size of header are not required for the
mode. The helper function is used for the mode by character device
driver instead of direct call of existent kernel API.

Changes in v2:
- unexport helper function
- use inline for helper function
- arrange arguments for helper function
- tested by libhinoko
