Subject: [PATCH] x86: Call __va() to get trampoline_base.

 x86, tboot: Call __va() to get trampoline_base.

 Do not pass trampoline_base as parameter of virt_to_phys.
Because trampoline_base is in .cpuinit.data section, but its
called from non-cpuinit function. So use __va(TRAMPOLINE_BASE)
instead of trampoline_base, which helps to fix section mismatch.

We were warned by the following warning:

  LD      arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o
WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x13c5f): Section mismatch
in reference from the function tboot_setup_sleep() to the variable
.cpuinit.data:trampoline_base
The function tboot_setup_sleep() references
the variable __cpuinitdata trampoline_base.
This is often because tboot_setup_sleep lacks a __cpuinitdata
annotation or the annotation of trampoline_base is wrong.
