sparse: use static inline for __chk_{user,io}_ptr()
__chk_user_ptr() & __chk_io_ptr() are dummy extern functions which only exist to enforce the typechecking of __user or __iomem pointers in macros when using sparse. This typechecking is done by inserting a call to these functions. But the presence of these calls can inhibit some simplifications and so influence the result of sparse's analysis of context/locking. Fix this by changing these calls into static inline calls with an empty body.
