include/linux: move typdef for uintptr_t

uintptr_t which is a typdef for unsigned long is needed for creating pointers (32 or 64 bit depending on Core) from 32 bit variables storing the address. If a 32 bit variable (u32) is typecasted to a pointer (void *), compiler gives a warning in case size of pointer on the core is 64 bit. The typdef has been moved from include/compiler.h to include/linux/types.h Signed-off-by: Aneesh Bansal <aneesh.bansal@freescale.com> Reviewed-by: York Sun <yorksun@freescale.com>
