[PATCH kernel v2] powerpc/boot: Stop using RELACOUNT

So far the RELACOUNT tag from the ELF header was containing the exact
number of R_PPC_RELATIVE/R_PPC64_RELATIVE relocations. However the LLVM's
recent change [1] make it equal-or-less than the actual number which
makes it useless.
This replaces RELACOUNT in zImage loader with a pair of RELASZ and RELAENT.
The vmlinux relocation code is fixed in commit d79976918852
("powerpc/64: Add UADDR64 relocation support").
To make it more future proof, this walks through the entire .rela.dyn
section instead of assuming that the section is sorter by a relocation
type. Unlike d79976918852, this does not add unaligned UADDR/UADDR64
relocations as we are likely not to see those in practice - the zImage
is small and very arch specific so there is a smaller chance that some
generic feature (such as PRINK_INDEX) triggers unaligned relocations.

Changes:
v2:
* s/divd/divwu/ for ppc32
* updated the commit log
* named all new labels instead of numbering them
(s/101f/.Lcheck_for_relaent/ and so on)
