[U-Boot] [PATCH] armv7: do not relocate _start twice

The _start symbol is already relocated, so do not add the relocation the second
time in c_runtime_cpu_setup.

This fixes e.g. the abort exception handling path, which ended in double fault
due to bad address in VBAR.

Hello,

Here is a fix for a bug reported by Lubomir. He noticed that exceptions were
not handled correctly anymore. This can be seen with e.g. the 'dhcp' command on
some OMAP platforms.

Looking at the code, I would says the fix applies to all armv7 platforms except
Tegra but I did only test on OMAP5. On this platform at least the abort is now
handled:

  OMAP5430 EVM # dhcp
  data abort

      MAYBE you should read doc/README.arm-unaligned-accesses

  pc : [<fef9bd78>]          lr : [<fefa1790>]
  sp : feef9dc4  ip : fefed0f8     fp : 00000000
  r10: 00000001  r9 : 00000001     r8 : feef9f48
  r7 : feef9fe0  r6 : 00000000     r5 : 00000000  r4 : 00000014
  r3 : 00000000  r2 : 00000002     r1 : 00000014  r0 : fefed0f4
  Flags: Nzcv  IRQs off  FIQs off  Mode SVC_32
  Resetting CPU ...

  resetting ...

It would be appreciated if folks could verify on other ARMv7 platforms, when
running from flash for example (where relocation may differ?)
