The newly introduced mm_pgtables_bytes() function has two
definitions with slightly different prototypes. The one
used for CONFIG_MMU=n causes a compile-time warning:

In file included from include/linux/kernel.h:13:0,
                 from mm/debug.c:8:
mm/debug.c: In function 'dump_mm':
mm/debug.c:137:21: error: passing argument 1 of 'mm_pgtables_bytes' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]

This changes it to be the same as the other one and avoid the
warning.

Fixes: 7444e6ee9cce ("mm: consolidate page table accounting")
