When building Xen with GCC 12 with UBSAN and PVH_GUEST both enabled the
compiler emits the following errors:
arch/x86/setup.c: In function '__start_xen':
arch/x86/setup.c:1504:19: error: 'consider_modules' reading 40 bytes from a region of size 4 [-Werror=stringop-overread]

This seems to be the result of some function manipulation done by UBSAN
triggering GCC stringops related errors. Placate the errors by declaring
the function parameter as `const struct *boot_module` instead of `const
struct boot_module[]`.
Note that GCC 13 seems to be fixed, and doesn't trigger the error when
using `[]`.
