Subject: [PATCH] um: Fix compile failure due to current_text_address()
 definition

Fixes the following link error:
```
/usr/bin/ld: net/built-in.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.text'
can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
```

This is the same definition used on some other architectures.

I am not sure this is the correct patch in the context of uml. I believe this
should give the runtime ip, which may be different between runs. It may be
better to use the offset in .text (e.g. by using `pc-__text_start`), which
should be consistent.
