AArch64: Reformat inline-asm in elf_machine_load_address
This patch reformats the inline-asm in elf_machine_load_address so it is
easier to change only part of the inline-asm.  That is using string
concatenating instead of string continuation.

Also document why this inline-asm works - it depends on the 32bit
relocation being resolved at link time.

ChangeLog:

2014-11-21  Will Newton  <will.newton@linaro.org>
	    Andrew Pinski  <andrew.pinski@caviumnetworks.com>

	* sysdeps/aarch64/dl-machine.h (elf_machine_load_address):
	Refactor inline-asm.  Also add comment.
