ARM: 9176/1: avoid literal references in inline assembly 

Nathan reports that the new get_current() and per-CPU offset accessors
may cause problems at build time due to the use of a literal to hold the
address of the respective variables. This is due to the fact that LLD
before v14 does not support the PC-relative group relocations that are
normally used for this, and the fallback relies on literals but does not
emit the literal pools explictly using the .ltorg directive.

./arch/arm/include/asm/current.h:53:6: error: out of range pc-relative fixup value
        asm(LOAD_SYM_ARMV6(%0, __current) : "=r"(cur));
            ^
./arch/arm/include/asm/insn.h:25:2: note: expanded from macro 'LOAD_SYM_ARMV6'
        "       ldr     " #reg ", =" #sym "                     nt"
        ^
<inline asm>:1:3: note: instantiated into assembly here
                ldr     r0, =__current
                ^

Since emitting a literal pool in this particular case is not possible,
let's avoid the LOAD_SYM_ARMV6() entirely, and use the ordinary C
assigment instead.

As it turns out, there are other such cases, and here, using .ltorg to
emit the literal pool within range of the LDR instruction would be
possible due to the presence of an unconditional branch right after it.
Unfortunately, putting .ltorg directives in subsections appears to
confuse the Clang inline assembler, resulting in similar errors even
though the .ltorg is most definitely within range.

So let's fix this by emitting the literal explicitly, and not rely on
the assembler to figure this out. This means we have move the fallback
out of the LOAD_SYM_ARMV6() macro and into the callers.
