[PATCH] Replace __toc_start + 0x8000 with .TOC.

TOC relocations are like GOT relocations on other architectures.
However, unlike other architectures, GNU ld's ppc64 port defines .TOC.
relative to the .got output section instead of the linker synthesized
.got input section. LLD defines .TOC. as the .got input section plus
0x8000. When CONFIG_PPC_OF_BOOT_TRAMPOLINE=y,
arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.o is built, and LLD computed .TOC. can be
different from __toc_start defined by the linker script.

Simplify kernel_toc_addr with asm label .TOC. so that we can get rid of
__toc_start.

With this change, powernv_defconfig with CONFIG_PPC_OF_BOOT_TRAMPOLINE=y
is bootable with LLD. There is still an untriaged issue with Alexey's
configuration.
