3.16.7-ckt25 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: dann frazier <dann.frazier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 67dfa1751ce71e629aad7c438e1678ad41054677 upstream.
GCC6 (and Linaro's 2015.12 snapshot of GCC5) has a new default that uses
adrp/ldr or adrp/add to address literal pools. When CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_843419
is enabled, modules built with this toolchain fail to load:
module libahci: unsupported RELA relocation: 275
This patch fixes the problem by passing '-mpc-relative-literal-loads'
to the compiler.
Fixes: df057cc7b4fa ("arm64: errata: add module build workaround for erratum #843419")
