[PATCH v2 1/2] arm64/build: Use common DISCARDS in linker script

From: Kees Cook
Date: Mon Jun 22 2020 - 16:58:21 EST


Use the common DISCARDS rule for the linker script in an effort to
regularize the linker script to prepare for warning on orphaned
sections. Additionally clean up left-over no-op macros.
