x86/KASLR: Handle kernel relocations above 2G correctly

When processing the relocation table, the offset used to calculate the
relocation is an 'int'. This is sufficient for calculating the physical
address of the relocs entry on 32-bit systems and on 64-bit systems when
the relocation is under 2G.

To handle relocations above 2G (seen in situations like kexec, netboot, etc),
this offset needs to be calculated using a 'long' to avoid wrapping and
miscalculating the relocation.
