[PATCH v2] net: Remove unnecessary cast on void pointer

From: simran singhal
Date: Tue Mar 28 2017 - 15:06:37 EST


The following Coccinelle script was used to detect this:
@r@
expression x;
void* e;
type T;
identifier f;
@@
(
*((T *)e)
|
((T *)x)[...]
|
((T*)x)->f
|

- (T*)
e
)

Unnecessary parantheses are also remove.

Signed-off-by: simran singhal <singhalsimran0@xxxxxxxxx>

v2:
-Remove unnecessary parantheses
