Commit ef03849 ("[uaccess] Remove redundant userptr_add() and
userptr_diff()") exposed a signedness bug in the comparison of initrd
locations, since the expression (initrd->data - current) was
effectively no longer coerced to a signed type.
In particular, the common case will be that the top of the initrd
region is the start of the iPXE .textdata region, which has virtual
address zero. This causes initrd->data to compare as being above the
top of the initrd region for all images, when this bug would
previously have been limited to affecting only initrds placed 2GB or
more below the start of .textdata.
Fix by using physical addresses for all comparisons on initrd
locations.
