From: Jeff Layton <[email protected]>

commit 6df8c9d80a27cb587f61b4f06b57e248d8bc3f86 upstream.

sparse says:

fs/ceph/mds_client.c:291:23: warning: restricted __le32 degrades to integer fs/ceph/mds_client.c:293:28: warning: restricted __le32 degrades to integer fs/ceph/mds_client.c:294:28: warning: restricted __le32 degrades to integer fs/ceph/mds_client.c:296:28: warning: restricted __le32 degrades to integer

The op value is __le32, so we need to convert it before comparing it.
