[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 26/63] x86: board_r: Set the global data pointer after relocation

Since 'gd' is just a normal variable on 64-bit x86, it is relocated by the
time we get to board_init_r(). The old 'gd' variable is passed in as
parameter to board_init_r(), presumably for this situation.

Assign it on 64-bit x86 so that gd points to the correct data.

Options to improve this:
- Make gd a fixed register and remove the board_init_r() parameter
- Make all archs use this board_init_r() parameter
