build warning on v4.0-rc1

[Felipe Balbi]

Hi Al,

commit 3b994d98a815d934ab6a77a380882865982c14f9 (get rid of the second
argument of acct_kill()) added a new build warning when building
kernel/acct.c. Warning can be seen below. Revert of that commit is
non-trivial, so I haven't tried to check if reverting it fixes the
warning.

One one to silent the warning would be to cast return of cmpxchg to void
on the call inside acct_pin_kill(), but maybe there's a better way?
