[PATCH] ARM: kprobes: Fix false positive with FORTIFY_SOURCE

[Kees Cook]

The arm compiler internally interprets an inline assembly label
as an unsigned long value, not a pointer. As a result, under
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE, the size of the array pointed to by an address
of a label is 4 bytes, which was tripping the runtime checks. Instead,
we can just cast the label (as done with the size calculations earlier)
to avoid the problem.
