arm64/module: switch to ADRP/ADD sequences for PLT entries
Now that we have switched to the small code model entirely, and
reduced the extended KASLR range to 4 GB, we can be sure that the
targets of relative branches that are out of range are in range
for a ADRP/ADD pair, which is one instruction shorter than our
current MOVN/MOVK/MOVK sequence, and is more idiomatic and so it
is more likely to be implemented efficiently by micro-architectures.
So switch over the ordinary PLT code and the special handling of
the Cortex-A53 ADRP errata, as well as the ftrace trampline
handling.
