Subject: [PATCH 5.5 148/150] s390/kaslr: Fix casts in get_random

From: Nathan Chancellor <natechancellor@...il.com>

commit 788d671517b5c81efbed9310ccbadb8cca86a08e upstream.

Clang warns:

../arch/s390/boot/kaslr.c:78:25: warning: passing 'char *' to parameter
of type 'const u8 *' (aka 'const unsigned char *') converts between
pointers to integer
types with different sign [-Wpointer-sign]

                                                ^

Fix the cast to match what else is done in this function.
