[PATCH] ELF, uapi: fixup ELF_ST_TYPE definition

From: Alexey Dobriyan
Date: Fri Apr 29 2022 - 10:50:13 EST


This is very theoretical compile failure:

ELF_ST_TYPE(st_info = A)

Cast will bind first and st_info will stop being lvalue:

error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment

Given that the only use of this macro is

ELF_ST_TYPE(sym->st_info)

where st_info is "unsigned char" I've decided to remove cast especially
given that companion macro ELF_ST_BIND doesn't use cast.
