[PATCH v4 17/22] arm64: add support for building the kernel as a relocate PIE binary

[ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org (Ard Biesheuvel)]

This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, which links the final vmlinux image
with a dynamic relocation section, which allows the early boot code to
perform a relocation to a different virtual address at runtime.

This is a prerequisite for KASLR (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE).
