nospec: Allow index argument to have const-qualified type

nospec: Allow index argument to have const-qualified type

The last expression in a statement expression need not be a bare
variable, quoting gcc docs

  The last thing in the compound statement should be an expression
  followed by a semicolon; the value of this subexpression serves as the
  value of the entire construct.

and we already use that in e.g. the min/max macros which end with a
ternary expression.

This way, we can allow index to have const-qualified type, which will in
some cases avoid the need for introducing a local copy of index of
non-const qualified type. That, in turn, can prevent readers not
familiar with the internals of array_index_nospec from wondering about
the seemingly redundant extra variable, and I think that's worthwhile
considering how confusing the whole _nospec business is.

The expression _i&_mask has type unsigned long (since that is the type
of _mask, and the BUILD_BUG_ONs guarantee that _i will get promoted to
that), so in order not to change the type of the whole expression, add
a cast back to typeof(_i).
