[PATCH v7 06/10] kernel: tracepoints: add support for relative references

[Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

To avoid the need for relocating absolute references to tracepoint
structures at boot time when running relocatable kernels (which may
take a disproportionate amount of space), add the option to emit
these tables as relative references instead.
