Since relative references have been used in RELA and RELR tables,
there has been no need to know their start va and end va.
Therefore, the instructions to get virtual offset in __relocate_kernel
should be removed.

This code has been removed by commit 734958ef0b54 ("arm64: head: move
relocation handling to C code") in linux-next, so the patch is no longer
needed.

Thanks.
