Replace the use of `as_ptr` which works through `<CStr as
Deref<Target=&[u8]>::deref()` in preparation for replacing
`kernel::str::CStr` with `core::ffi::CStr` as the latter does not
implement `Deref<Target=&[u8]>`.

Andreas et al.: I will apply this since it would be nice to try to get
the flag day patch in this series finally done -- please shout if you
have a problem with this.

An Acked-by would be very appreciated, thanks!

Cheers,
Miguel
