The 2nd check to see if request_size is less than zero is redundant
because the first check takes error exit path on this condition. So,
since it is redundant, remove it.

As pointed out by Al Viro for my previous series, the driver has no need
to call access_ok() and __copy_from_user()/__copy_to_user(). Changing
it to regular copy_from_user()/copy_to_user() simplifies the code without
any real downsides, making it less error-prone at best.

This patch by itself also addresses the warning about the access_ok()
macro on MIPS, but both fixes improve the code, so ideally we apply
them both.

The use of le32_to_cpu() etc in this driver looks completely arbitrary.
It may have made sense at some point, but it is not applied consistently,
so this driver presumably won't work on big-endian kernel builds.

Unfortunately it's unclear whether the type names or the calls to
le32_to_cpu() are the correct ones. I'm taking educated guesses here
and assume that most of the __le32 and __le16 annotations are correct,
adding the conversion helpers whereever we access those fields.

The exceptions are the 'fw_version' field that is always accessed as
big-endian, so I'm changing the type here, and the 'hrrq' values that
are accessed as little-endian, so I'm changing those the other way.

None of these changes should have any effect on little-endian
architectures like x86, but it addresses the sparse warnings.

<title>scsi: pmcraid: use __iomem pointers for ioctl argument</title>

kernelci.org reports a new compile warning for old code in the pmcraid
driver:

arch/mips/include/asm/uaccess.h:138:21: warning: passing argument 1 of '__access_ok' makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]

The warning got introduced by a cleanup to the access_ok() helper that
requires the argument to be a pointer, where the old version silently
accepts 'unsigned long' arguments as it still does on most other
architectures.

The new behavior in MIPS however seems absolutely sensible, and so far I
could only find one other file with the same issue, so the best solution
seems to be to clean up the pmcraid driver.

This makes the driver consistently use 'void __iomem *' pointers for
passing around the address of the user space ioctl arguments, which gets
rid of the kernelci warning as well as several sparse warnings.

Now genl_register_family() is the only thing (other than the
users themselves, perhaps, but I didn't find any doing that)
writing to the family struct.

In all families that I found, genl_register_family() is only
called from __init functions (some indirectly, in which case
I've add __init annotations to clarifly things), so all can
actually be marked __ro_after_init.

This protects the data structure from accidental corruption.
