sparse: use identifiers to define address spaces
Currently, address spaces in warnings are displayed as '<asn:X>' with
'X' being the address space's arbitrary number.

But since sparse v0.6.0-rc1 (late December 2018), sparse allows you to
define the address spaces using an identifier instead of a number.  This
identifier is then directly used in the warnings.

So, use the identifiers '__user', '__iomem', '__percpu' & '__rcu' for
the corresponding address spaces.  The default address space, __kernel,
being not displayed in warnings, stays defined as '0'.

With this change, warnings that used to be displayed as:

	cast removes address space '<asn:1>' of expression
	... void [noderef] <asn:2> *

will now be displayed as:

	cast removes address space '__user' of expression
	... void [noderef] __iomem *

This also moves the __kernel annotation to be the first one, since it is
quite different from the others because it's the default one, and so:

 - it's never displayed

 - it's normally not needed, nor in type annotations, nor in cast
   between address spaces. The only time it's needed is when it's
   combined with a typeof to express "the same type as this one but
   without the address space"

 - it can't be defined with a name, '0' must be used.

So, it seemed strange to me to have it in the middle of the other
ones.
