[PATCH v2] PowerPC: kernel: compiling issue, make additional room in exception vector area

When CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_64_PR is enabled,
MASKABLE_EXCEPTION_PSERIES(0x900 ...) will includes __KVMTEST, it will
exceed 0x980 which STD_EXCEPTION_HV(0x980 ...) will use, it will cause
compiling issue.

The related errors:
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S: Assembler messages:
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:258: Error: attempt to move .org backwards
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o] Error 1

The position 0x900 and 0x980 are solid, so can not move the position
to make room larger. The final solution is to jump to another area to
execute the related code.
