Subject: [PATCH 11/15] arm64: explicitly pass --no-fix-cortex-a53-843419 to GNU gold

Some versions of GNU gold are known to produce broken code with
--fix-cortex-a53-843419 as explained in this bug:

  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21491

If ARM64_ERRATUM_843419 is disabled and we're using GNU gold, pass
--no-fix-cortex-a53-843419 to the linker to ensure the erratum fix is not
used even if the linker is configured to enable it by default.
