[PATCH 1/5] uaccess: Fix scoped_user_read_access() for 'pointer to const'

[david.laight.linux@gmail.com]

From: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

If a 'const struct foo __user *ptr' is used for the address passed
to scoped_user_read_access() then you get a warning/error
uaccess.h:691:1: error: initialization discards 'const' qualifier
    from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
for the
    void __user *_tmpptr = __scoped_user_access_begin(mode, uptr, size, elbl)
assignment.

Fix by using typeof(uptr) in that assignment and changing the 'read' functions
to use 'const void __user *ptr' rather than 'void __user *ptr'.

Fixes: e497310b4ffb "(uaccess: Provide scoped user access regions)"
