[PATCH] kheaders: Use array declaration instead of char

[Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>]

Under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE, memcpy() will check the size of destination
and source buffers. Defining kernel_headers_data as "char" would trip
this check. Since these addresses are treated as byte arrays, define
them as arrays (as done everywhere else).

This was seen with:

  $ cat /sys/kernel/kheaders.tar.xz >> /dev/null

  detected buffer overflow in memcpy
  kernel BUG at lib/string_helpers.c:1027!
  ...
  RIP: 0010:fortify_panic+0xf/0x20
  [...]
