MIPS: relocatable: optimize the relocation process

For now, vmlinux relocation functions for relocatable kernel are
implemented as an array of handlers of a particular type.

Convert that array into a single switch-case function to:
 - remove unused arguments;
 - change the return type of simple handlers to void;
 - remove the array and don't use any data at all;
 - avoid using indirect calls;
 - allow the compiler to inline and greatly optimize
   the relocation function[s];

and also mark do_relocations() and show_kernel_relocation() static
as they aren't used anywhere else.

The result on MIPS32 R2 with GCC 10.2 -O2 is:
