LoongArch: Adjust symbol addressing for AS_HAS_EXPLICIT_RELOCS

If explicit relocation hints are used by the toolchain, -Wa,-mla-*
options will be useless for the C code. So only use them for the
!CONFIG_AS_HAS_EXPLICIT_RELOCS case.

Replace "la" with "la.pcrel" in head.S to keep the semantic consistent
with new and old toolchains for the low level startup code.

For per-CPU variables, the "address" of the symbol is actually an offset
from $r21. The value is near the loading address of main kernel image,
but far from the loading address of modules. So we use model("extreme")
attibute to tell the compiler that a PC-relative addressing with 32-bit
offset is not sufficient for local per-CPU variables.

The behavior with different assemblers and compilers are summarized in
the following table:

AS has            CC has
explicit relocs   explicit relocs * Behavior
==============================================================
No                No                Use la.* macros.
                                    No change from Linux 6.0.
--------------------------------------------------------------
No                Yes               Disable explicit relocs.
                                    No change from Linux 6.0.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Yes               No                Not supported.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Yes               Yes               Enable explicit relocs.
                                    No -Wa,-mla* options used.
==============================================================
*: We assume CC must have model attribute if it has explicit relocs.
   Both features are added in GCC 13 development cycle, so any GCC
   release >= 13 should be OK. Using early GCC 13 development snapshots
   may produce modules with unsupported relocations.
