[PATCH] mtd: Fix warning in access_ok() parameter passing

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

On m68k, where access_ok() doesn't cast the address parameter:

drivers/mtd/mtdchar.c: In function 'mtdchar_write_ioctl':
drivers/mtd/mtdchar.c:575:4: warning: passing argument 2 of 'access_ok' makes pointer from integer without a cast [enabled by default]
arch/m68k/include/asm/uaccess_mm.h:17:90: note: expected 'const void *' but argument is of type '__u64'
drivers/mtd/mtdchar.c:576:4: warning: passing argument 2 of 'access_ok' makes pointer from integer without a cast [enabled by default]
arch/m68k/include/asm/uaccess_mm.h:17:90: note: expected 'const void *' but argument is of type '__u64'

The address parameter of access_ok() is really a userspace pointer.
On most architectures, access_ok() is a macro that casts the address
parameter, hiding issues in its users.

Move around and use the existing usr_data and usr_oob temporary variables
to kill the warnings. Add a few "consts", and make more use of the
temporaries while we're at it.
