[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] MIPS: simplify relocated _G_O_T_ address calculation

The difference between the address of the original
and the relocated _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ is always
the same as the relocation offset.

The relocation offset is already computed and it is
available in the 's1/t6' register. Use that to adjust
the relocated _G_O_T_ address, instead of calculating
the offset again from the _gp value.

Changes since v1: modify Xburst code as well

This depends on the:

'MIPS: xburst: simplify relocation offset calculation' patch
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/216934/

and supersedes this one:
