sparse: use identifiers to define address spaces
Currently, address spaces in warnings are displayed as '<asn:X>' with 'X' being the address space's arbitrary number. But since sparse v0.6.0-rc1 (late December 2018), sparse allows you to define the address spaces using an identifier instead of a number. This identifier is then directly used in the warnings. So, use the identifiers '__user', '__iomem', '__percpu' & '__rcu' for the corresponding address spaces. The default address space, __kernel, being not displayed in warnings, stays defined as '0'. With this change, warnings that used to be displayed as: cast removes address space '<asn:1>' of expression ... void [noderef] <asn:2> * will now be displayed as: cast removes address space '__user' of expression ... void [noderef] __iomem * This also moves the __kernel annotation to be the first one, since it is quite different from the others because it's the default one, and so: - it's never displayed - it's normally not needed, nor in type annotations, nor in cast between address spaces. The only time it's needed is when it's combined with a typeof to express "the same type as this one but without the address space" - it can't be defined with a name, '0' must be used. So, it seemed strange to me to have it in the middle of the other ones.
