Commit f0518ef ("create-diff-object: fix ppc64le kpatch_replace_sections_syms() bundling assumption"), subtractes sym.st_value for all bundled symbols on ppc64le and GCC6+ irrespective
of function or switch label.

As a side effect, the addend for switch labels were incorrect and call to local function executed TOC setup code. Fallback to the original behavior of subtracting sym.st_value only for the dynrela.

Example of wrong switch label:
