[PATCH -tip v2] x86/alternatives: Fix build warning

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Fri Feb 05 2010 - 12:09:30 EST


Fixes below warnings.

====
FYI, there's this new build warning on x86 defconfig:

arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c: In function 'alternatives_text_reserved':
arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c:402: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast
arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c:402: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast
arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c:405: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast
arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c:405: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast

Caused by:

2cfa197: ftrace/alternatives: Introducing *_text_reserved functions
====

Changes in v2:
- Use local variables to compare, instead of type casts.
