x86/boot/64/clang: Use fixup_pointer() to access '__supported_pte_mask'
Clang builds with defconfig started crashing after the following
commit:
fb43d6cb91ef ("x86/mm: Do not auto-massage page protections")
This was caused by introducing a new global access in __startup_64().
Code in __startup_64() can be relocated during execution, but the compiler
doesn't have to generate PC-relative relocations when accessing globals
from that function. Clang actually does not generate them, which leads
to boot-time crashes. To work around this problem, every global pointer
must be adjusted using fixup_pointer().
