Actually, by having a u32 instead of unsigned long here, it triggers those
warnings:

In file included from ./include/linux/bitops.h:38:0,
from ./include/linux/kernel.h:11,
from certs/system_keyring.c:13:
./arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h:73:1: note: expected ‘volatile long unsigned int *’ but argument is of type ‘u32 *’
set_bit(long nr, volatile unsigned long *addr)
^
I suspect that casting the u32 * to a unsigned long * is not a safe approach, because
the code can generate a load/store on unallocated memory (kasan might complain).

Thoughts ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
