debugfs: Fix __rcu type comparison warning

[ Upstream commit 7360a48bd0f5e62b2d00c387d5d3f2821eb290ce ]

Sparse reports the following:

fs/debugfs/file.c:942:9: sparse: sparse: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces):
fs/debugfs/file.c:942:9: sparse:    char [noderef] __rcu *
fs/debugfs/file.c:942:9: sparse:    char *

rcu_assign_pointer() expects that it's assigning to pointers annotated
with __rcu. We can't annotate the generic struct file::private_data, so
cast it instead.

Fixes: 86b5488121db ("debugfs: Add write support to debugfs_create_str()")
