The kernel parameter 'nokaslr' is handled before start_kernel(), so we
don't need early_param() to mark it technically. But it can cause a boot
warning as follows:
Unknown kernel command line parameters "nokaslr", will be passed to user space.
When we use 'init=/bin/bash', 'nokaslr' which passed to user space will
even cause a kernel panic. So we use early_param() to mark 'nokaslr',
simply print a notice and silence the boot warning (also fix a potential
panic). This logic is similar to RISC-V.

To clarify, the previous version functioned flawlessly. However, it's
worth noting that the LLVM's LoongArch backend currently lacks support
for cross-section label calculations. With this patch, we enable the use
of clang to compile relocatable kernels.

Modified relocate_kernel() doesn't return new kernel's entry point but
the random_offset. In this way we share the start_kernel() processing
with the normal kernel, which avoids calling 'jr a0' directly and allows
some other operations (e.g, kasan_early_init) before start_kernel() when
KASLR (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE) is turned on.

This patch adds support for relocating the kernel to a random address.
Entropy is derived from the banner, which will change every build and
random_get_entropy() which should provide additional runtime entropy.
The kernel is relocated by up to RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET bytes from
its link address. Because relocation happens so early during the kernel
booting, the amount of physical memory has not yet been determined. This
means the only way to limit relocation within the available memory is
via Kconfig. So we limit the maximum value of RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET
to 256M (0x10000000) because our memory layout has many holes.

This config allows to compile kernel as PIE and to relocate it at any
virtual address at runtime: this paves the way to KASLR.
Runtime relocation is possible since relocation metadata are embedded
into the kernel.
