[PATCH] powerpc: Fix dynamic relocation

Commit 5ac47f7a introduced dynamic relocation of code by manually
relocating TOC entries. However, we need to access the TOC using
the physical address that we have for it, not the virtual address
that we can't even access yet.

Drop the offset from the TOC accessing pointer.

This fixes Linux 3.9 booting on OpenBIOS for me.

I've also encountered breakage on a G5 Mac, not sure if it's related.
I'll have to test whether this is the culprit on that one too.

Ben, please make sure that this gets into 3.9.
