Subject: [PATCH] sh: machvec: Use char[] for section boundaries

As done for other sections, define the extern as a character array,
which relaxes many of the compiler-time object size checks, which would
otherwise assume it's a single long. Solves the following build error:

arch/sh/kernel/machvec.c: error: array subscript 'struct sh_machine_vector[0]' is partly outside array bounds of 'long int[1]' [-Werror=array-bounds]:  => 105:33
