[ Upstream commit 2f293651eca3eacaeb56747dede31edace7329d2 ]

Trying to build livepatch on powerpc/32 results in:

kernel/livepatch/core.c: In function 'klp_resolve_symbols':
kernel/livepatch/core.c:221:23: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]

193 | static int klp_resolve_symbols(Elf64_Shdr *sechdrs, const char *strtab,
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~

Fix it by using the right types instead of forcing 64 bits types.
