bpf: Add __force annotations to silence sparse warnings
Add __force annotations to casts that convert between __user and kernel
address spaces. These casts are intentional:
- In bpf_send_signal_common(), the value is stored in si_value.sival_ptr
which is typed as void __user *, but the value comes from a BPF
program parameter.
- In the bpf_*_dynptr() kfuncs, user pointers are cast to const void *
before being passed to copy helper functions that correctly handle
the user address space through copy_from_user variants.
Without __force, sparse reports:
warning: cast removes address space '__user' of expression
