[PATCH] x86: define LOADED_MM_SWITCHING with pointer-sized number

[Jann Horn]

sparse complains that LOADED_MM_SWITCHING's definition casts an int to a
pointer:

arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:409:17: warning: non size-preserving integer to pointer
cast

Use a pointer-sized integer constant instead.

For the future:

The tip tree preferred format for patch subject prefixes is
'subsys/component:', e.g. 'x86/apic:', 'x86/mm/fault:', 'sched/fair:',
'genirq/core:'. Please do not use file names or complete file paths as
prefix. 'git log path/to/file' should give you a reasonable hint in most
cases.

The condensed patch description in the subject line should start with a
uppercase letter and should be written in imperative tone.

I've fixed it up now.

Good mailing practices for 400: avoid top-posting and trim the reply.

Ah, thanks. I'll write that down somewhere...
