KVM: PPC: e500: Fix build error due to using kmalloc_obj() with wrong type

Fix a build error in kvmppc_e500_tlb_init() that was introduced by the
conversion to use kzalloc_objs(), as KVM confusingly uses the size of the
structure that is one and only field in tlbe_priv:

  arch/powerpc/kvm/e500_mmu.c:923:33: error: assignment to 'struct tlbe_priv *'
    from incompatible pointer type 'struct tlbe_ref *' [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
  923 |         vcpu_e500->gtlb_priv[0] = kzalloc_objs(struct tlbe_ref,
      |                                 ^

KVM has been flawed since commit 0164c0f0c404 ("KVM: PPC: e500: clear up
confusion between host and guest entries"), but the issue went unnoticed
until kmalloc_obj() came along and enforced types, as "struct tlbe_priv"
was just a wrapper of "struct tlbe_ref" (why on earth the two ever existed
separately...).
