scripts/gdb: fix lx-version string output

commit b058809bfc8faeb7b7cae047666e23375a060059 upstream

A bug is present in GDB which causes early string termination when
parsing variables.  This has been reported [0], but we should ensure
that we can support at least basic printing of the core kernel strings.

For current gdb version (has been tested with 7.3 and 8.1), 'lx-version'
only prints one character.

  (gdb) lx-version
  L(gdb)

This can be fixed by casting 'linux_banner' as (char *).

  (gdb) lx-version
  Linux version 4.19.0-rc1+ (changbin@acer) (gcc version 7.3.0 (Ubuntu 7.3.0-16ubuntu3)) #21 SMP Sat Sep 1 21:43:30 CST 2018
