Subject: [PATCH 5.15 433/913] livepatch: Fix build failure on 32 bits processors

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@...roup.eu>

[ Upstream commit 2f293651eca3eacaeb56747dede31edace7329d2 ]

Trying to build livepatch on powerpc/32 results in:

Fix it by using the right types instead of forcing 64 bits types.
