[PATCH v2 2/6] arm64: PIE: Skip fixups if distance is zero

When the actual offset between link and runtime address is zero, there
is no need for patching up U-Boot early when running with
CONFIG_POSITION_INDEPENDENT.
Skip the whole routine when the distance is 0.
This helps when U-Boot is loaded into ROM, or in otherwise sensitive
memory locations.
