[PATCH 3/7] x86/dom0: placate GCC 12 compile-time errors with UBSAN and PVH_GUEST



When building Xen with GCC 12 with UBSAN and PVH_GUEST both enabled the
compiler emits the following errors:

arch/x86/setup.c: In function '__start_xen':
arch/x86/setup.c:1504:19: error: 'consider_modules' reading 40 bytes from a 
region of size 4 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
 1504 |             end = consider_modules(s, e, reloc_size + mask,
      |                   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      |                   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This seems to be the result of some function manipulation done by UBSAN
triggering GCC stringops related errors.  Placate the errors by declaring
the function parameter as `const struct *boot_module` instead of `const
struct boot_module[]`.

Note that GCC 13 seems to be fixed, and doesn't trigger the error when
using `[]`.
