x86/boot/64/clang: Use fixup_pointer() to access 'next_early_pgt'

Browse source

__startup_64() is normally using fixup_pointer() to access globals in a
position-independent fashion. However 'next_early_pgt' was accessed
directly, which wasn't guaranteed to work.

Luckily GCC was generating a R_X86_64_PC32 PC-relative relocation for
'next_early_pgt', but Clang emitted a R_X86_64_32S, which led to
accessing invalid memory and rebooting the kernel.
