GCC 11 (incorrectly[1]) assumes that literal values cast to (void *)
should be treated like a NULL pointer with an offset, and raises
diagnostics when doing bounds checking:
In function '__memset',
inlined from '__bad_pagetable' at arch/alpha/mm/init.c:79:2:
./arch/alpha/include/asm/string.h:37:32: error: '__builtin_memset' offset [0, 8191] is out of the bounds [0, 0] [-Werror=array-bounds]
37 | return __builtin_memset(s, c, n);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In function '__memset',
inlined from 'paging_init' at arch/alpha/mm/init.c:256:2:
./arch/alpha/include/asm/string.h:37:32: error: '__builtin_memset' offset [0, 8191] is out of the bounds [0, 0] [-Werror=array-bounds]
37 | return __builtin_memset(s, c, n);
This has been solved in other places[2] already by using the recently
added absolute_pointer() macro. Do the same here.
