Currently, address spaces in warnings are displayed as
'<asn:X>' with 'X' replaced with the address space's number.
But since v0.6.0-rc1 (late December 2018), Sparse allows
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 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 *
