ARM: 6504/1: Thumb-2: Fix long-distance conditional branches in head.S for Thumb-2.

The 32-bit conditional branches in Thumb-2 have a shorter range
(+/-512K) than their ARM counterparts (+/-32MB).  The linker does
not currently generate trampolines to extend the range of these
Thumb-2 conditional branches, resulting in link errors when vmlinux
is sufficiently large, e.g.:

head.o:(.text+0x464): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_THM_JUMP19

This patch forces the longer-range, unconditional branch encoding
by use of an explicit IT instruction.  The resulting branches are
triggered on the same conditions as before.
