arm64: mm: Cast start/end markers to char *, not u64
There are a few memset() calls in map_kernel.c that cast marker-symbol addresses to u64 in order to perform pointer subtraction (range size computation). Cast them with (char *) instead, aligning with idiomatic C pointer arithmetic. This patch provably has no effect at runtime: I have verified that .text of vmlinux is identical after this change.
