[PATCH] [X/master] arm64: Workaround for related relocations

GCC6 (and Linaro's 2015.12 snapshot of GCC5) has a new default that uses
adrp/ldr or adrp/add to address literal pools. When CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_843419
is enabled, modules built with this toolchain fail to load:

  [ 2.156817] module libahci: unsupported RELA relocation: 275

Longterm, this will likely be superseded by -mfix-cortex-a53-843419, which
should disable this optimization in the future.

Proposing for Xenial/master, tested on my DragonBoard410c.
