[PATCH 8/9] x86/kexec: Cope with relocate_kernel() not being at the start of the page

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw at amazon.co.uk>
A few places in the kexec control code page make the assumption that the
first instruction of relocate_kernel is at the very start of the page.
To allow for Clang CFI information to be added to relocate_kernel(), as
well as the general principle of removing unwarranted assumptions, fix
them to use the external __relocate_kernel_start symbol that the linker
adds. This means using a separate addq and subq for calculating offsets,
as the assembler can no longer calculate the delta directly for itself
and relocations aren't that versatile.
Turn the jump from relocate_kernel() to identity_mapped() into a real
indirect 'jmp *%rsi' too, while touching it. There was no real reason
for it to be a push+ret in the first place, and adding Clang CFI info
will also give objtool enough visibility to start complaining 'return
with modified stack frame' about it.
