[PATCH v2 7/7] arm64: add a workaround for GNU gold with ARM64_MODULE_PLTS

All current versions of GNU gold crash when linking kernel modules
with ARM64_MODULE_PLTS due to a known bug:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14592

To work around the problem, this change removes NOLOAD from .plt
and .init.plt.
