[PATCH v3] arm64: errata: Add -mpc-relative-literal-loads to build flags

Tue Jan 26 12:11:24 PST 2016
GCC6 (and Linaro's 2015.12 snapshot of GCC5) has a new default that uses
adrp/ldr or adrp/add to address literal pools. When CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_843419
is enabled, modules built with this toolchain fail to load:
[ 2.156817] module libahci: unsupported RELA relocation: 275
v2: Unconditionally use flag for both kernel and modules, as Ard notes we have
no requirement for supporting literals >1 MB away.
v3: Drop reference to -mfix-cortex-a53-843419.
