CC [M]  drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/mgc/mgc_request.o
drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/mgc/mgc_request.c: In function
âmgc_set_info_asyncâ:
drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/mgc/mgc_request.c:1036:115: warning:
format â%sâ expects argument of type âchar *â, but argument 3 has type
âvoid *â [-Wformat=]

I was getting this warning because of changing (char *)val to val
where val is a pointer to void.
So I fixed this by reverting this change.
