[PATCH] ARM: linker script: GCOV kernel may refers data in __exit

[Masami Hiramatsu]

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 if CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y.

Without this patch, if we discards __exit text (e.g.
disables CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL and
CONFIG_SMP_ON_UP) but enables CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_FTRACE,
ld will error like below on ARM.

`.text.exit' referenced in section `.ARM.exidx.text.exit' of
kernel/trace/trace_clock.o: defined in discarded section `.text.exit'
of kernel/trace/trace_clock.o

To fix this issue, we keep __exit when CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y.

The reason why not depending CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_X, is
that the Documentation/dev-tools/gcov.rst says that the
developer can enable gcov profile on a file or a directory
by customizing Makefile, and that will only depend on
CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL.
