Fix PSCI hang up without CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE define.
"DISCARD" will remove ._secure.text relocate, but PSCI framework
has already used some absolute address those need to relocate.

Use readelf -t -r u-boot show us:
.__secure_start		addr: 601408e4
.__secure_end		addr: 60141460

60141140  00000017 R_ARM_RELATIVE
46	_secure_monitor:
47	#ifdef CONFIG_ARMV7_PSCI
48      ldr     r5, =_psci_vectors

60141194  00000017 R_ARM_RELATIVE
6014119c  00000017 R_ARM_RELATIVE
601411a4  00000017 R_ARM_RELATIVE
601411ac  00000017 R_ARM_RELATIVE
64	_psci_table:
66	.word	psci_cpu_suspend
...
72	.word	psci_migrate

60141344  00000017 R_ARM_RELATIVE
6014145c  00000017 R_ARM_RELATIVE
202	ldr     r5, =psci_text_end

Solutions:
1. Change absolute address to RelAdr.
   Based on LDR (immediate, ARM), we only have 4K offset to jump.
Now PSCI code size is close to 4K size that is LDR limit jump size,
so even if the LDR is based on the current instruction address,
there is also have a risk for RelAdr. If we use two jump steps I
think we can fix this issue, but looks too hack, so give up this way.

2. Enable "DISCARD" only for CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE has defined.
   If CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE is defined in platform, all of secure
will in the BASE address that is absolute. psci_update_dt will relocate
the PSCI code into link stage address(CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE address),
so using this method.
