The loop in clear_user_pages() iterates over all pages and calls
clear_user_page() for each of them. During the loop "vaddr" is modified.
However on sparc clear_user() is a macro which does not use "vaddr".
The compiler sees a variable which is modified but never used and emits
a warning for that:
include/linux/highmem.h: In function 'clear_user_pages':
include/linux/highmem.h:234:63: warning: parameter 'vaddr' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-parameter=]
static inline void clear_user_pages(void *addr, unsigned long vaddr,
Other architectures use an inline function for clear_user_page() which
avoids the warning. This is not possible on sparc, as
sparc_flush_page_to_ram() is not yet declared where clear_user_page() is
defined. Including cacheflush_32.h will trigger recursive and lots of
other issues.
So hide the warning with a cast to (void) instead.
While we are here, do the same for copy_user_page().
