Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] ARM: nommu: display vectors base

VECTORS_BASE displays the exception base address. Now on no-MMU as
the exception base address is dynamically estimated, define
VECTORS_BASE to the variable holding it.

As it is the case, limit VECTORS_BASE constant definition to MMU.

Suggested-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@....linux.org.uk>

v3:
 Simplify by defining VECTORS_BASE to vectors_base
v2:
 A change to accomodate bisectability resolution on patch 1/4
