Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] perf/smmuv3: Don't cast parameter in bit operations

While in this particular case it would not be a (critical) issue,
the pattern itself is bad and error prone in case somebody blindly
copies to their code.

Don't cast parameter to unsigned long pointer in the bit operations.
Instead copy to a local variable on stack of a proper type and use.

Note, new compilers might warn on this line for potential outbound access.
