The mod_return_to_handler needs to switch to the kernel TOC before
jumping to a the kernel code. It currently does this by looking
at the kernel function data and retrieves the TOC that way.
Not only is this inefficient, it also breaks with a relocatable kernel.
The PACA contains the kernel TOC and we can easily retrieve it that
way.

* We are in a module using the module's TOC.
* Switch to our TOC to run inside the core kernel.
