[PATCH v3 2/3] powerpc/reloc64: add support for 32-bit CRC pseudo-symbols

In preparation of modifying the core modversions code to emit the CRCs
as 32-bit quantities, ensure that 64-bit PowerPC will be able to deal
with this when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, in which case the CRCs will be
emitted into the final ELF binary as R_PPC64_ADDR32 relocations.

Since 32-bit relocations cannot be used to relocate memory addresses on
64-bit architectures, and since the CRC pseudo-symbol references are
emitted as anonymous relocations (i.e., against the NULL symbol in the
.dynsym section) with the final value recorded in the addend (*), we
can disregard any relocations where the symbol index != 0.

* Note that unsatisfied CRC pseudo-symbol references are emitted as
  R_PPC64_ADDR32 relocations against named symbols that are typed as
  weak undefined in the .dynsym symbol table. These can simply be
  ignored (as before), considering that zero CRCs are interpreted as
  missing, and the module code deals with that accordingly.
