Subject: [PATCH] [v2] x86/boot/compressed/64: fix warning for 32-bit trampoline copy

gcc-8 warns that we copy TRAMPOLINE_32BIT_CODE_SIZE bytes from the pointer
to the function into actual trampoline, when that pointer is only 8 bytes:

In file included from arch/x86/boot/compressed/pgtable_64.c:3:
arch/x86/boot/compressed/pgtable_64.c: In function 'paging_prepare':
arch/x86/boot/compressed/../string.h:18:23: error: '__builtin_memcpy' reading 96 bytes from a region of size 8 [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
 #define memcpy(d,s,l) __builtin_memcpy(d,s,l)
                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/boot/compressed/pgtable_64.c:62:2: note: in expansion of macro 'memcpy'
  memcpy(trampoline + TRAMPOLINE_32BIT_CODE_OFFSET / sizeof(unsigned long),
  ^~~~~~

It turns out that the declaration is incorrect here: trampoline_32bit_src
is defined as a function in arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_64.S, not a
pointer to a function. Fixing the prototype to match addresses the warning.

v2: fix prototype rather than (incorrectly) change the user
