Revert "x86: Make relocatable kernel work with new binutils"

This reverts commit 86b1e8dd ("x86: Make relocatable kernel work with
new binutils").

Markus Trippelsdorf reported a boot failure caused by this patch.

The real solution to the original patch will likely involve an
arch-generic solution to define an overlaid jiffies_64 and jiffies
variables.

Until that's done and tested on all architectures revert this commit to
solve the regression.
