[PATCH v2 5/6] xen: remove unused function ERR_CAST

[Simone Ballarin <simone.ballarin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Maria Celeste Cesario <maria.celeste.cesario@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Function ERR_CAST contains a violation of MISRA C:2012 Rule 11.8,
whose headline states:
"A conversion shall not remove any const, volatile or _Atomic qualification
from the type pointed to by a pointer".

Since the function has no users, it is appropriate to remove it.
