Mykyta Yatsenko 1700147697 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
