powerpc/modules: Fix alignment of .toc section in kernel modules

powerpc64 gcc can generate code that offsets an address, to access
part of an object in memory. If the address is a -mcmodel=medium toc
pointer relative address then code like the following is possible.

  addis r9,r2,var@toc@ha
  ld r3,var@toc@l(r9)
  ld r4,(var+8)@toc@l(r9)

This works fine so long as var is naturally aligned, *and* r2 is
sufficiently aligned. If not, there is a possibility that the offset
added to access var+8 wraps over a n*64k+32k boundary. Modules don't
have any guarantee that r2 is sufficiently aligned. Moreover, code
generated by older compilers generates a .toc section with 2**0
alignment, which can result in relocation failures at module load time
even without the wrap problem.

Thus, this patch links modules with an aligned .toc section (Makefile
and module.lds changes), and forces alignment for out of tree modules
or those without a .toc section (module_64.c changes).
