x86, mm: Use a bitfield to mask nuisance get_user() warnings
Even though it is never executed, gcc wants to warn for casting from
a large integer to a pointer. Furthermore, using a variable with
__typeof__() doesn't work because __typeof__ retains storage
specifiers (const, restrict, volatile).
However, we can declare a bitfield using sizeof(), which is legal
because sizeof() is a constant expression. This quiets the warning,
although the code generated isn't 100% identical from the baseline
before 96477b4 x86-32: Add support for 64bit get_user():
[x86-mb is baseline, x86-mm is this commit]
