[PATCH v4] MIPS: Truncate link address into 32bit for 32bit kernel

[Jiaxun Yang]

LLD failed to link vmlinux with 64bit load address for 32bit ELF
while bfd will strip 64bit address into 32bit silently.
To fix LLD build, we should truncate load address provided by platform
into 32bit for 32bit kernel.

V2: Take MaskRay's shell magic.

V3: After spent an hour on dealing with special character issue in
Makefile, I gave up to do shell hacks and write a util in C instead.
Thanks Maciej for pointing out Makefile variable problem.

v4: Finally we managed to find a Makefile method to do it properly
thanks to Kees. As it's too far from the initial version, I removed
Review & Test tag from Nick and Fangrui and Cc instead.
