[PATCH 4.19 041/239] lkdtm: Fix content of section containing lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

commit bc93a22a19eb2b68a16ecf04cdf4b2ed65aaf398 upstream.

On a kernel without CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX, running EXEC_RODATA
test leads to "Illegal instruction" failure.

Looking at the content of rodata_objcopy.o, we see that the
function content zeroes only:

Disassembly of section .rodata:

0000000000000000 <.lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing>:
0: 00 00 00 00 .long 0x0

Add the contents flag in order to keep the content of the section
while renaming it.

Disassembly of section .rodata:

0000000000000000 <.lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing>:
0: 4e 80 00 20 blr
