Subject: [PATCH v5 08/19] x86, kaslr: Get correct max_addr for relocs pointer

There is boundary checking for pointer in kaslr relocation handling.

Current code is using output_len, and that is VO (vmlinux after objcopy)
file size plus vmlinux.relocs file size.

That is not right, as we should use loaded address for running.

At that time parse_elf already move the sections according to ELF headers.

The valid range should be VO [_text, __bss_start) loaded physical addresses.

In the patch, add export for __bss_start to voffset.h and use it to get
max_addr.
