[PATCH] arm64: link with -z norelro regardless of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE

[Nick Desaulniers]

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

While upgrading our toolchains for Android, we started seeing the above
failure for a particular config that enabled KASAN but disabled KASLR.
This was on a 5.4 stable branch.  It looks like
commit dd4bc6076587 ("arm64: warn on incorrect placement of the kernel by the bootloader")
made RELOCATABLE=y the default and depend on EXPERT=y. With those two
enabled, we can then reproduce the same failure on mainline.
