Linus Walleij June 30, 2022, 8:41 a.m. UTC 
Functions that work on a pointer to virtual memory such as
virt_to_pfn() and users of that function such as
virt_to_page() are supposed to pass a pointer to virtual
memory, ideally a (void *) or other pointer. However since
many architectures implement virt_to_pfn() as a macro,
this function becomes polymorphic and accepts both a
(unsigned long) and a (void *).

If we instead implement a proper virt_to_pfn(void *addr)
function the following happens (occurred on arch/arm):

  mm/nommu.c: In function 'free_page_series':
  mm/nommu.c:501:50: warning: passing argument 1 of 'virt_to_pfn'
  makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
  struct page *page = virt_to_page(from);

Fix this with an explicit cast.
