ia64: fix put_user sparse errors
virtio wants to write bitwise types to userspace using put_user.
At the moment this triggers sparse errors, since the value is passed
through an integer.
For example:
__le32 __user *p;
__le32 x;
put_user(x, p);
is safe, but currently triggers a sparse warning.
Fix that up using __force.
Note: this does not suppress any useful sparse checks since callers
do a cast (__typeof__(*(ptr))) (x) which in turn forces all the
necessary type checks.
