Subject: [PATCH] x86/boot/64: Fix missed fixup_pointer() for next_early_pgt access

__startup_64() uses fixup_pointer() to access global variables in a
position-independent fashion. Access to next_early_pgt was wrapped into
the helper, but one of the instance in 5-level paging branch was missed.

GCC generates a R_X86_64_PC32 PC-relative relocation for the access
which doesn't trigger the issue, but Clang emmits a R_X86_64_32S which
leads to an invalid memory and system reboot.

Signed-off-by: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill.shutemov@...ux.intel.com>
