Subject: [PATCH 4.14 002/125] arm64: link with -z norelro regardless of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE

From: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@...gle.com>

commit 3b92fa7485eba16b05166fddf38ab42f2ff6ab95 upstream.

With CONFIG_EXPERT=y, CONFIG_KASAN=y, CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=n,
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n, we observe the following failure when trying to
link the kernel image with LD=ld.lld:

error: section: .exit.data is not contiguous with other relro sections

ld.lld defaults to -z relro while ld.bfd defaults to -z norelro. This
was previously fixed, but only for CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.

Fixes: 3bbd3db86470 ("arm64: relocatable: fix inconsistencies in linker script and options")
