blackfin: fix put_user sparse errors

virtio wants to write bitwise types to userspace using put_user.
At the moment this triggers sparse errors, since the value is passed
through an integer.

For example:

	__le32 __user *p;
	__le32 x;
	put_user(x, p);

is safe, but currently triggers a sparse warning.

Fix that up using __force.

Note: this does not suppress any useful sparse checks since caller
assigns x to typeof(*p), which in turn forces all the necessary type
checks.
