Subject: [PATCH] x86: use the correct function type for native_set_fixmap

We call native_set_fixmap indirectly through the function pointer
struct pv_mmu_ops::set_fixmap, which expects the first parameter to be
'unsigned' instead of 'enum fixed_addresses'. This patch changes the
function type for native_set_fixmap to match the pointer, which fixes
indirect call mismatches with Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) checking.
