[PATCH 1/7] powerpc: use the new post-link pass to check relocations

[Nicholas Piggin]

Currently powerpc has to introduce a dependency on its default build
target zImage in order to run a relocation check pass over the linked
vmlinux. This is deficient because the check is not run if the plain
vmlinux target is built, or if one of the other boot targets is built.

Switch to using the kbuild post-link pass in order to run this check.
