fix sg_phys to use dma_addr_t

x86_32 CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G with 5GB RAM hung when booting, after issuing
some "request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000" messages in
trying to exec /sbin/init.

The binprm buf doesn't see the right ".ELF" header because sg_phys()
is providing the wrong physical addresses for high pages: a 32-bit
unsigned long is too small in this case, we need to use dma_addr_t.
