Firstly, this kind of type check doesn't work. It does something similay
like following:
        void * __dummy = NULL;
        __buf = __dummy;

__dummy is defined as void *. Thus it will not trigger warnings as
expected.

Second, we don't need that kind of check. Since the prototype
of __kfifo_out is:
        unsigned int __kfifo_out(struct __kfifo *fifo,  void *buf, unsigned int 
len)

buf is defined as void *, so we don't need do the type check. Remove it.
