[PATCH] powerpc/uaccess: fix warning/error with access_ok()

With the following peace of code, the following compilation warning
is encountered:

	if (_IOC_DIR(ioc) != _IOC_NONE) {
		int verify = _IOC_DIR(ioc) & _IOC_READ ? VERIFY_WRITE : VERIFY_READ;

		if (!access_ok(verify, ioarg, _IOC_SIZE(ioc))) {

drivers/platform/test/dev.c: In function ‘my_ioctl’:
drivers/platform/test/dev.c:219:7: warning: unused variable ‘verify’ [-Wunused-variable]
   int verify = _IOC_DIR(ioc) & _IOC_READ ? VERIFY_WRITE : VERIFY_READ;

This patch fixes it by handing the type to __access_ok(), changing it
to an inline function for PPC64 as already done for PPC32
