x86/boot: Discard .eh_frame sections
When using GCC as compiler and LLVM's lld as linker, linking setup.elf
fails:
LD arch/x86/boot/setup.elf
ld.lld: error: init sections too big!
This happens because GCC generates .eh_frame sections for most of the
files in that directory, then ld.lld places the merged section before
__end_init, triggering an assert in the linker script.
Fix this by discarding the .eh_frame sections, as suggested by Boris.
The kernel proper linker script discards them too.
[ bp: Going back in history, 64-bit kernel proper has been discarding
.eh_frame since 2002:

[PATCH] x86-64 updates for 2.5.44
...
- Remove the .eh_frame on linking. This saves several hundred KB in the
bzImage
