powerpc: Revert switch to TEXT_TEXT in linker script
Commit edada399 broke the build on 64-bit powerpc because it moved the __ftr_alt_* sections of a file away from the .text section, causing link failures due to relative conditional branch targets being too far away from the branch instructions. This happens on pretty much all 64-bit powerpc configs. This change reverts commit edada399 while preserving the update from the *.refok sections to .ref.text that has happened since.
