[PATCH] ppc64: Don't look for the TOC pointer all the time

When dealing with the purgatory's relocation, the TOC pointer is computed
by looking at the ".toc" section's address.
This should be done only once and the result kept back to avoid scanning
all the ELF section each time a TOC relative relocation is processed.
