Subject: sparc: Handle negative offsets in arch_jump_label_transform

From: James Clarke <jrtc27@jrtc27.com>


[ Upstream commit 9d9fa230206a3aea6ef451646c97122f04777983 ]

Additionally, if the offset will overflow the immediate for a ba,pt
instruction, fall back on a standard ba to get an extra 3 bits.
