arm: Make reset position-independent
Some boards, like mx31pdk and tx25, require the beginning of the SPL code to be position-independent. For these two boards, this is because they use the i.MX external NAND boot, which starts by executing the first NAND Flash page from the NFC page buffer. The SPL then needs to copy itself to its actual link address in order to free the NFC page buffer and use it to load the non-SPL image from Flash before running it. This means that the SPL runtime address differs from its link address between the reset and the initial copy performed by board_init_f(), so this part of the SPL binary must be position-independent. This requirement was broken by commit 41623c9 'arm: move exception handling out of start.S files', which used an absolute address to branch to the reset routine. This new commit restores the original behavior, which just performed a relative branch. This fixes the boot of mx31pdk and tx25.
