mm: gup: pass a pointer to virt_to_page()

Functions that work on a pointer to virtual memory such as virt_to_pfn()
and users of that function such as virt_to_page() are supposed to pass a
pointer to virtual memory, ideally a (void *) or other pointer.  However
since many architectures implement virt_to_pfn() as a macro, this function
becomes polymorphic and accepts both a (unsigned long) and a (void *).

If we instead implement a proper virt_to_pfn(void *addr) function the
following happens (occurred on arch/arm):

  mm/gup.c: In function '__get_user_pages_locked':
  mm/gup.c:1599:49: warning: passing argument 1 of 'virt_to_pfn'
    makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
    pages[i] = virt_to_page(start);

Fix this with an explicit cast.
