[PATCH V2] LoongArch: Fix module relocation error with binutils 2.41

From: Huacai Chen
Date: Mon Jul 10 2023 - 01:00:41 EST


Binutils 2.41 enables linker relaxation by default, but the kernel
module loader doesn't support that, so just disable it. Otherwise we
get such an error when loading modules:

"Unknown relocation type 102"

As an alternative, we could add linker relaxation support in the kernel
module loader. But it is relatively large complexity that may or may not
bring a similar gain, and we don't really want to include this linker
pass in the kernel.
