Sometimes the compiler accepts `(struct sockaddr_in *)` and
`(struct sockaddr_in6 *)` to be passed in to `(struct sockaddr *)`
without a cast. But not all compilers agree with that. Building with
clang 13.0.1 yields the following errors:

    io_uring-udp.c:134:18: error: incompatible pointer types passing \
    'struct sockaddr_in6 *' to parameter of type 'const struct sockaddr *' \
    [-Werror,-Wincompatible-pointer-types

    io_uring-udp.c:142:18: error: incompatible pointer types passing \
    'struct sockaddr_in *' to parameter of type 'const struct sockaddr *' \
    [-Werror,-Wincompatible-pointer-types]

Explicitly cast the pointer to (struct sockaddr *) to avoid this error.
