[PATCH] af_packet: fix sparse warning

From: Michael S. Tsirkin
Date: Mon Nov 24 2014 - 06:32:37 EST


af_packet produces lots of these:
net/packet/af_packet.c:384:39: warning: incorrect type in return expression (different modifiers)
net/packet/af_packet.c:384:39: expected struct page [pure] *
net/packet/af_packet.c:384:39: got struct page *

this seems to be because sparse does not realize that _pure
refers to function, not the returned pointer.

Tweak code slightly to avoid the warning.
