With PCREL addressing, there is no kernel TOC. So, it is not setup in
prologue when PCREL addressing is used. But the number of instructions
to skip on a tail call was not adjusted accordingly. That resulted in
not so obvious failures while using tailcalls. 'tailcalls' selftest
crashed the system with the below call trace:

  bpf_test_run+0xe8/0x3cc (unreliable)
  bpf_prog_test_run_skb+0x348/0x778
  __sys_bpf+0xb04/0x2b00
  sys_bpf+0x28/0x38
  system_call_exception+0x168/0x340
  system_call_vectored_common+0x15c/0x2ec

Also, as bpf programs are always module addresses and a bpf helper in
general is a core kernel text address, using PC relative addressing
often fails with "out of range of pcrel address" error. Switch to
using kernel base for relative addressing to handle this better.
