netfs: Eliminate Clang randstruct warning
Clang's structure layout randomization feature gets upset when it sees struct inode (which is randomized) cast to struct netfs_i_context. This is due to seeing the inode pointer as being treated as an array of inodes, rather than "something else, following struct inode". Since netfs can't use container_of() (since it doesn't know what the true containing struct is), it uses this direct offset instead. Adjust the code to better reflect what is happening: an arbitrary pointer is being adjusted and cast to something else: use a "void *" for the math. The resulting binary output is the same, but Clang no longer sees an unexpected cross-structure cast: In file included from ../fs/nfs/inode.c:50: In file included from ../fs/nfs/fscache.h:15: In file included from ../include/linux/fscache.h:18: ../include/linux/netfs.h:298:9: error: casting from randomized structure pointer type 'struct inode *' to 'struct netfs_i_context *' return (struct netfs_i_context *)(inode + 1); ^ 1 error generated.
