<title>drivers: net: Remove casts to same type</title>

Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary
and confusing for a human reader.

For example, this cast:

        int y;
        int *p = (int *)&amp;y;

I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these
unnecessary casts.  I manually removed the conversions this
script produces of casts with __force, __iomem and __user.

@@
type T;
T *p;
@@

-       (T *)p
+       p

alloc failures use dump_stack so emitting an additional
out-of-memory message is an unnecessary duplication.

Remove the allocation failure messages.

Lockdep found a locking inconsistency in the mkiss_close function:

&gt; kernel: [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ]
&gt; kernel: 2.6.39.1 #3
&gt; kernel: ---------------------------------
&gt; kernel: inconsistent {IN-SOFTIRQ-R} -&gt; {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} usage.
&gt; kernel: ax25ipd/2813 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes:
&gt; kernel: (disc_data_lock){+++?.-}, at: [&lt;ffffffffa018552b&gt;] mkiss_close+0x1b/0x90 [mkiss]
&gt; kernel: {IN-SOFTIRQ-R} state was registered at:

The message hints that disc_data_lock is aquired with softirqs disabled,
but does not itself disable softirqs, which can in rare circumstances
lead to a deadlock. 
The same problem is present in the 6pack driver, this patch fixes both
by using write_lock_bh instead of write_lock.
