Subject: powerpc: Align p_dyn, p_rela and p_st symbols

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@xxxxxxxxx>

commit a5b2cf5b1af424ee3dd9e3ce6d5cea18cb927e67 upstream.

The 64bit relocation code places a few symbols in the text segment.
These symbols are only 4 byte aligned where they need to be 8 byte
aligned. Add an explicit alignment.
