LoongArch: Switch to relative exception tables

Similar to other architectures such as arm64, x86, riscv and so on, use offsets relative to the exception table entry values rather than their absolute addresses for both the exception location and the fixup. However, LoongArch label difference because it will actually produce two relocations, a pair of R_LARCH_ADD32 and R_LARCH_SUB32. Take simple code below for example: $ cat test_ex_table.S .section .text 1: nop .section __ex_table,"a" .balign 4 .long (1b - .) .previous $ loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -c test_ex_table.S $ loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-readelf -Wr test_ex_table.o Relocation section '.rela__ex_table' at offset 0x100 contains 2 entries: Offset Info Type Symbol's Value Symbol's Name + Addend 0000000000000000 0000000600000032 R_LARCH_ADD32 0000000000000000 .L1^B1 + 0 0000000000000000 0000000500000037 R_LARCH_SUB32 0000000000000000 L0^A + 0 The modpost will complain the R_LARCH_SUB32 relocation, so we need to patch modpost.c to skip this relocation for .rela__ex_table section.
