ring-buffer: typecast cmpxchg to fix PowerPC warning

The cmpxchg used by PowerPC does the following:

  ({									 \
     __typeof__(*(ptr)) _o_ = (o);					 \
     __typeof__(*(ptr)) _n_ = (n);					 \
     (__typeof__(*(ptr))) __cmpxchg((ptr), (unsigned long)_o_,		 \
				    (unsigned long)_n_, sizeof(*(ptr))); \
  })

This does a type check of *ptr to both o and n.

Unfortunately, the code in ring-buffer.c assigns longs to pointers
and pointers to longs and causes a warning on PowerPC:

ring_buffer.c: In function 'rb_head_page_set':
ring_buffer.c:704: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast
ring_buffer.c:704: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast
ring_buffer.c: In function 'rb_head_page_replace':
ring_buffer.c:797: warning: initialization makes integer from pointer without a cast

This patch adds the typecasts inside cmpxchg to annotate that a long is
being cast to a pointer and a pointer is being casted to a long and this
removes the PowerPC warnings.
