[PATCH 1/2] x86: Discard .note.gnu.property sections in vDSO

["H.J. Lu" <hjl.tools@gmail.com>]

With the command-line option, -mx86-used-note=yes, the x86 assembler
in binutils 2.32 and above generates a program property note in a note
section, .note.gnu.property, to encode used x86 ISAs and features.  X86
kernel vDSO linker script only contains a signle NOTE segment:

PHDRS
{
 text PT_LOAD FLAGS(5) FILEHDR PHDRS; /* PF_R|PF_X */
 dynamic PT_DYNAMIC FLAGS(4); /* PF_R */
 note PT_NOTE FLAGS(4); /* PF_R */
 eh_frame_hdr 0x6474e550;
}

which may not be incompatible with note.gnu.property sections.  Since
note.gnu.property section in vDSO is not used by dynamic linker, this
patch discards .note.gnu.property sections in vDSO by adding

/DISCARD/ : {
 *(.note.gnu.property)
}

before .notes sections.
