Subject: [PATCH] riscv: kprobes: Fix incorrect address calculation

p->ainsn.api.insn is a pointer to u32, therefore arithmetic operations are
multiplied by four. This is clearly undesirable for this case.

Cast it to (void *) first before any calculation.

Below is a sample before/after. The dumped memory is two kprobe slots, the
first slot has

  - c.addiw a0, 0x1c (0x7125)
  - ebreak           (0x00100073)

and the second slot has:

  - c.addiw a0, -4   (0x7135)
  - ebreak           (0x00100073)

Before this patch:

(gdb) x/16xh 0xff20000000135000
0xff20000000135000:	0x7125	0x0000	0x0000	0x0000	0x7135	0x0010	0x0000	0x0000
0xff20000000135010:	0x0073	0x0010	0x0000	0x0000	0x0000	0x0000	0x0000	0x0000

After this patch:

(gdb) x/16xh 0xff20000000125000
0xff20000000125000:	0x7125	0x0073	0x0010	0x0000	0x7135	0x0073	0x0010	0x0000
0xff20000000125010:	0x0000	0x0000	0x0000	0x0000	0x0000	0x0000	0x0000	0x0000
