Subject: [PATCH 4.18 073/168] nds32: linker script: GCOV kernel may refers data in __exit

4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Greentime Hu <greentime@...estech.com>

[ Upstream commit 3350139c0ff3c95724b784f7109987d533cb3ecd ]

This patch is used to fix nds32 allmodconfig/allyesconfig build error
because GCOV kernel embeds counters in the kernel for each line
and a part of that embed in __exit text. So we need to keep the
EXIT_TEXT and EXIT_DATA  if CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y.
