nptl: Use uintptr_t for address diagnostic in nptl/tst-pthread-getattr

Recent GCC versions warn about the attempt to return the address of a
local variable:

tst-pthread-getattr.c: In function ‘allocate_and_test’:
tst-pthread-getattr.c:54:10: error: function returns address of local variable [-Werror=return-local-addr]
   54 |   return mem;
      |          ^~~
In file included from ../include/alloca.h:3,
                 from tst-pthread-getattr.c:26:
../stdlib/alloca.h:35:23: note: declared here
   35 | # define alloca(size) __builtin_alloca (size)
      |                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tst-pthread-getattr.c:51:9: note: in expansion of macro ‘alloca’
   51 |   mem = alloca ((size_t) (mem - target));
      |         ^~~~~~

The address itself is used in a check in the caller, so using
uintptr_t instead is reasonable.
