sgi-xp: fix writing past the end of kzalloc()'d space
A missing type cast results in writing way beyond the end of a kzalloc()'d
memory segment resulting in slab corruption. But it seems like the better
solution is to define ->recv_msg_slots as a 'void *' rather than a
'struct xpc_notify_mq_msg_uv *' and add the type cast.
