[PATCH 1/2] kernel.h: use parentheses around argument in u64_to_user_ptr()

[Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>]

Use parentheses around uses of the argument in u64_to_user_ptr() to ensure
that the cast doesn't apply to part of the argument.

There are existing uses of the macro of the form `u64_to_user_ptr(A + B)`,
which expands to `(void __user *)(uintptr_t)A + B` (the cast applies to the
first operand of the addition, the addition is a pointer addition). This
happens to still work as intended, the semantic difference doesn't cause a
difference in behavior.
But I want to use u64_to_user_ptr() with a ternary operator in the
argument, like so: `u64_to_user_ptr(A ? B : C)`. This currently doesn't
work as intended.

Can we take this patch through the x86 tree with the following one, or
do we need to get this one through akpm's tree first?
