Subject: [PATCH] mm: fixup compilation error due to an asm write through a const pointer

This regression has been introduced in

commit f56f821feb7b36223f309e0ec05986bb137ce418
Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@...ll.ch>

    mm: extend prefault helpers to fault in more than PAGE_SIZE

I have failed to notice this because x86 asm seems to happily compile
things as-is.
