percpu: Make __verify_pcu_ptr handle per cpu pointers to arrays
__verify_pcpu_ptr() will cause a compilation failure if the type of the pointer is a pointer to a fixed array of objects. Adding zero to the pointer converts the type of pointer to that pointing to a single object of the array. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
