Subject: [PATCH] riscv: Stop considering R_RISCV_NONE as bad relocations

Even though those relocations should not be present in the final
vmlinux, there are a lot of them. And since those relocations are
considered "bad", they flood the compilation output which may hide some
legitimate bad relocations.
