[PATCH master 3/3] ARM64: reloc: fix relocation error for big fat bareboxes

A multi_v8 barebox with KASAN enabled is 2051804 even after compression
and this breaks linking for me:

  arch/arm/cpu/common.o: in function `global_variable_offset':
  arch/arm/include/asm/reloc.h:20:(.text.relocate_to_current_adr+0x1c):
    relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_LO21 against symbol
    `_text' defined in .text section in .tmp_barebox1
  arch/arm/include/asm/reloc.h:20:(.text.relocate_to_current_adr+0x40):
    relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_LO21 against symbol
    `_text' defined in .text section in .tmp_barebox1

This is due to adr's limitation of only addressing bytes +/- 1 MiB from
the current PC. We have a solution for this in the form of the adrp
macro, which we define for out-of-line assembly. Opencode this into the
inline assembly function, by using adrp to compute the page offset and
then add to arrive at the correct offset within the page.
