Currently, INIT_UDATA() does an implicit cast to a pointer,
so that 'response' address, eg. output buffer, can be used
as is to initialize a struct ib_udata:

        do {                                                    \
                (udata)->inbuf  = (void __user *) (ibuf);       \
                (udata)->outbuf = (void __user *) (obuf);       \
                (udata)->inlen  = (ilen);                       \
                (udata)->outlen = (olen);                       \
        } while (0)

...

        INIT_UDATA(&udata, buf + sizeof cmd,
                   (unsigned long) cmd.response + sizeof resp,
                   in_len - sizeof cmd, out_len - sizeof  resp);

...

Hidding the integer to pointer conversion is prone to error
that won't be catched by compiler/static analyzer is some case.

In the other hand, sparse reports an error if literal 0 is used
to initialize inbuf or outbuf, for example in:

        INIT_UDATA(&ucore,
                   (hdr.in_words) ? buf : 0,
                   (unsigned long)ex_hdr.response,
                   hdr.in_words * 8,
                   hdr.out_words * 8);

It was reported by kbuild test robot in message[1]:

  From: kbuild test robot <[email protected]>
  Subject: "drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c:683:17:
      sparse: Using plain integer as NULL pointer",
  Message-Id: <528b3984.SVGs20ZWpcuR/jls%[email protected]>

This patch fixes the warnings reported by sparse and allows the compiler
to report a warning in case a plain integer get used to initialize
a udata pointer.

This patch requires struct ib_udata to be modified to have a
const void __user *inbuf field[2], otherwise compiler will report warnings
regarding const to non const conversion:
