Xi Ruoyao e05d4cd9b8 LoongArch: Add support for relocating the kernel with RELR relocation 
RELR as a relocation packing format for relative relocations for
reducing the size of relative relocation records.  In a position
independent executable there are often many relative relocation
records, and our vmlinux is a PIE.

The LLD linker (since 17.0.0) and the BFD linker (since 2.43) supports
packing the relocations in the RELR format for LoongArch, with the flag
-z pack-relative-relocs.

Commits 5cf896fb6b ("arm64: Add support for relocating the kernel
with RELR relocations") and ccb2d173b9 ("Makefile: use -z
pack-relative-relocs") have already added the framework to use RELR.
We just need to wire it up and process the RELR relocation records in
relocate_relative() in addition to the RELA relocation records.

A ".p2align 3" directive is added to la_abs macro or the BFD linker
cannot pack the relocation records against the .la_abs section (the
". = ALIGN(8);" directive in vmlinux.lds.S is too late in the linking
process).

With defconfig and CONFIG_RELR vmlinux.efi is 2.1 MiB (6%) smaller, and
vmlinuz.efi (using gzip compression) is 384 KiB (2.8%) smaller.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
