Handle SForced in storage_modifiers
We have been seeing errors like this for a while now in the sparse
Fedora package, when doing kernel builds:
./include/linux/err.h:53:25: warning: dereference of noderef expression
./include/linux/err.h:35:16: warning: dereference of noderef expression
This spews all over the build because this comes from IS_ERR(), which
is called everywhere. Even odder, it turns out that if we build the
package with -fpic turned off, then it works fine.
With some brute-force debugging, I think I've finally found the cause.
This array is missing the SForced element. When this is added then the
problem goes away.
As to why this goes away when -fpic is removed, I can only assume that
we get lucky with the memory layout and have a zeroed out region just
beyond the end of the array.
