Fix the following sparse warning:
fs/btrfs/send.c:518:51: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces)
fs/btrfs/send.c:518:51:    expected char const [noderef] <asn:1>*<noident>
fs/btrfs/send.c:518:51:    got char *

We can safely use (const char __user *) with set_fs(KERNEL_DS)

__force added to avoid sparse-all warning:
fs/btrfs/send.c:518:40: warning: cast adds address space to expression (<asn:1>)

Signed-off-by: Fabian Frederick <fabf@skynet.be>

This is untested.

Yeah, that cast is correct.

Though this probably wants to be rewritten in terms of kernel_write().
That'd give an opportunity to get rid of the sctx->send_off and have it
use f_pos in the filp.

Do you mean directly call kernel_write from send_cmd/send_header ?
I guess that loop around vfs_write in write_buf is there for something ...

write_buf() could still exist to iterate over the buffer in the case of
partial writes but it doesn't need to muck around with set_fs() and
forcing casts.
