Sparse has warned us about wrong address space for user pointers:

  i2c-dev.c:561:50: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
  i2c-dev.c:561:50:    expected unsigned char [usertype] *buf
  i2c-dev.c:561:50:    got void [noderef] __user *

Force cast the pointer to (__u8 *) that is used by I²C core code.

Note, this is an additional fix to the previously addressed similar issue
in the I2C_RDWR case in the same function.

Fixes: 3265a7e6b41b ("i2c: dev: Add __user annotation")
