[RFC PATCH 1/3] arm64: head.S: replace early literals with constant immediates

In preparation of making the kernel relocatable, replace literal
symbol references with immediate constants. This is necessary, as
the literals will not be populated with meaningful values until
after the relocation code has executed.
