[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH] ocfs2: Remove some redundant casting

[George Spelvin]

There are two standard techniques for dereferencing structures pointed
to by void *: cast to the right type each time they're used, or assign
to local variables of the right type.

But there's no need to do *both*.

Obviously, this makes zero difference to the generated code, but
it's prettier.
