Subject: [PATCH] riscv: uaccess: fix type of 0 variable on error in get_user()

If the get_user(x, ptr) has x as a pointer, then the setting
of (x) = 0 is going to produce the following sparse warning,
so fix this by forcing the type of 'x' when access_ok() fails.

Looks like arm64 has a pretty similar pattern. They've got the __force
__typeof__ already, but given the similarity it might be worth
refactoring these to share the error checking code.

I'll give this a bit of time like usual, unless anyone's opposed I'll
put it on fixes. I wasn't planning on sending a PR this week anyway due
to the holidays.

Thanks!

I looked there for an idea on how to fix.

Ok, it's a warning which would be nice to be fixed.
