x86, relocs: Move __vvar_page from S_ABS to S_REL

The __vvar_page relocation should actually be listed in S_REL instead
of S_ABS. Oddly, this didn't always cause things to break, presumably
because there are no users for relocation information on 64 bits yet.

[ hpa: Not for stable - new code in 3.10 ]
