[PATCH stable 4.9] powerpc/lib: fix code patching during early init on PPC32

[Christophe Leroy]

[Backport of upstream commit b45ba4a51cde29b2939365ef0c07ad34c8321789]

On powerpc32, patch_instruction() is called by apply_feature_fixups()
which is called from early_init()

There is the following note in front of early_init():
 * Note that the kernel may be running at an address which is different
 * from the address that it was linked at, so we must use RELOC/PTRRELOC
 * to access static data (including strings).  -- paulus

Therefore init_mem_is_free must be accessed with PTRRELOC()

Can't apply the upstream commit as such due to several of other unrelated stuff
like STRICT_KERNEL_RWX which are missing for instance.
So instead, using same approach as for commit 252eb55816a6f69ef9464cad303cdb3326cdc61d
