powerpc: Avoid bad relocations in iSeries code
Subrata Modak reported that building a CONFIG_RELOCATABLE kernel with
CONFIG_ISERIES enabled gives the following warnings:
WARNING: 4 bad relocations
c00000000007216e R_PPC64_ADDR16_HIGHEST __ksymtab+0x00000000009dcec8
c000000000072172 R_PPC64_ADDR16_HIGHER __ksymtab+0x00000000009dcec8
c00000000007217a R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI __ksymtab+0x00000000009dcec8
c00000000007217e R_PPC64_ADDR16_LO __ksymtab+0x00000000009dcec8
The reason is that decrementer_iSeries_masked is using
LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE to get the address of a kernel symbol, which
creates relocations that aren't handled by the kernel relocator code.
Instead of reading the tb_ticks_per_jiffy variable, we can just set
the decrementer to its maximum value (0x7fffffff) and that will work
just as well. In fact timer_interrupt sets the decrementer to that
value initially anyway, and we are sure to get into timer_interrupt
once interrupts are reenabled because we store 1 to the decrementer
interrupt flag in the lppaca (LPPACADECRINT(r12) here).
