[PATCH 4/8] x86/EFI: redo .reloc section bounds determination

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>]

There's no need to link relocs-dummy.o into the ELF binary. The two
symbols needed can as well be provided by the linker script. Then our
mkreloc tool also doesn't need to put them in the generated assembler
source.
