efi: Use correct type for struct efi_memory_map::phys_map

We have been getting away with using a void* for the physical
address of the UEFI memory map, since, even on 32-bit platforms
with 64-bit physical addresses, no truncation takes place if the
memory map has been allocated by the firmware (which only uses
1:1 virtually addressable memory), which is usually the case.

However, commit:

  0f96a99d

 ("efi: Add "efi_fake_mem" boot option")

adds code that clones and modifies the UEFI memory map, and the
clone may live above 4 GB on 32-bit platforms.

This means our use of void* for struct efi_memory_map::phys_map has
graduated from 'incorrect but working' to 'incorrect and
broken', and we need to fix it.

So redefine struct efi_memory_map::phys_map as phys_addr_t, and
get rid of a bunch of casts that are now unneeded.
