[PATCH] powerpc: Avoid link stack corruption in {add_}reloc_offset

reloc_offset() / add_reloc_offset() used bl;mflr to get code
position.

Use bcl 20,31,+4 instead of bl in order to preserve link stack.

See commit c974809a26a1 ("powerpc/vdso: Avoid link stack corruption
in __get_datapage()") for details.
