arm64: warn on incorrect placement of the kernel by the bootloader
Commit cfa7ede ("arm64: set TEXT_OFFSET to 0x0 in preparation for removing it entirely") results in boot failures when booting kernels that are built without KASLR support on broken bootloaders that ignore the TEXT_OFFSET value passed via the header, and use the default of 0x80000 instead. To work around this, turn CONFIG_RELOCATABLE on by default, even if KASLR itself (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE) is turned off, and require CONFIG_EXPERT to be enabled to deviate from this. Then, emit a warning into the kernel log if we are not booting via the EFI stub (which is permitted to deviate from the placement restrictions) and the kernel base address is not placed according to the rules as laid out in Documentation/arm64/booting.rst.
