param: don't deref arg in __same_type() checks

gcc allows this when arg is a function, but sparse complains:

drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_watchdog.c:303:1: error: cannot dereference this type
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_watchdog.c:307:1: error: cannot dereference this type
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_watchdog.c:311:1: error: cannot dereference this type
