[PATCH v2 3/4] x86/efi: avoid a relocation in efi_arch_post_exit_boot()



From: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx>

Instead of using the absolute __start_xen address, calculate it as an
offset from the current instruction pointer.  The relocation would be
problematic if the generated PE binary had .init.text as a standalone
section with just read and execute permissions."

Removing this relocation is necessary to make it safe to split .init.

No functional change intended.
