    sh: machvec: Use char[] for section boundaries
    
    [ Upstream commit c5783af354688b24abd359f7086c282ec74de993 ]
    
    As done for other sections, define the extern as a character array,
    which relaxes many of the compiler-time object size checks, which would
    otherwise assume it's a single long. Solves the following build error:
    
    arch/sh/kernel/machvec.c: error: array subscript 'struct sh_machine_vector[0]' is partly outside array bounds of 'long int[1]' [-Werror=array-bounds]:  => 105:33
