x86/boot: Rename conflicting 'boot_params' pointer to 'boot_params_ptr'
The x86 decompressor is built and linked as a separate executable, but it shares components with the kernel proper, which are either #include'd as C files, or linked into the decompresor as a static library (e.g, the EFI stub) Both the kernel itself and the decompressor define a global symbol 'boot_params' to refer to the boot_params struct, but in the former case, it refers to the struct directly, whereas in the decompressor, it refers to a global pointer variable referring to the struct boot_params passed by the bootloader or constructed from scratch. This ambiguity is unfortunate, and makes it impossible to assign this decompressor variable from the x86 EFI stub, given that declaring it as extern results in a clash. So rename the decompressor version (whose scope is limited) to boot_params_ptr.
