Subject: [PATCH] selftests/vDSO: Explicit unsigned char conversion for elf_hash

Fixes clang compilation warnings by adding explicit unsigned conversion:

parse_vdso.c:206:22: warning: passing 'const char *' to parameter of type 'const unsigned char *' converts between pointers to integer types where one is of the unique plain 'char' type and the other is not [-Wpointer-sign]
        ver_hash = elf_hash((const char *)version);
                            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
parse_vdso.c:59:52: note: passing argument to parameter 'name' here
static unsigned long elf_hash(const unsigned char *name)
                                                   ^
parse_vdso.c:207:46: warning: passing 'const char *' to parameter of type 'const unsigned char *' converts between pointers to integer types where one is of the unique plain 'char' type and the other is not [-Wpointer-sign]
        ELF(Word) chain = vdso_info.bucket[elf_hash((const char *)name) % vdso_info.nbucket];
                                                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
parse_vdso.c:59:52: note: passing argument to parameter 'name' here
static unsigned long elf_hash(const unsigned char *name)
