compat: Fix sparse address space warnings
In compat_sys_old_getrlimit() we pass a kernel pointer to sys_old_getrlimit() inside a set_fs() bracket. This is okay, so we can safely cast the affected pointer to __user. In compat_clock_nanosleep_restart(), the variable "rmtp" holds a user pointer. Annotate it as such. Both of these warnings are ancient, but were reported by Fengguang Wu's test system due to other changes. Signed-off-by: H.
