[PATCH 5.10 129/145] arm64: link with -z norelro for LLD or aarch64-elf

commit 311bea3cb9ee20ef150ca76fc60a592bf6b159f5 upstream.

With GNU binutils 2.35+, linking with BFD produces warnings for vmlinux:
aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: warning: -z norelro ignored

BFD can produce this warning when the target emulation mode does not
support RELRO program headers, and -z relro or -z norelro is passed.

Alan Modra clarifies:
The default linker emulation for an aarch64-linux ld.bfd is
-maarch64linux, the default for an aarch64-elf linker is
-maarch64elf. They are not equivalent. If you choose -maarch64elf
you get an emulation that doesn't support -z relro.

The ARCH=arm64 kernel prefers -maarch64elf, but may fall back to
-maarch64linux based on the toolchain configuration.

LLD will always create RELRO program header regardless of target
emulation.

To avoid the above warning when linking with BFD, pass -z norelro only
when linking with LLD or with -maarch64linux.

Fixes: 3b92fa7485eb ("arm64: link with -z norelro regardless of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE")
Fixes: 3bbd3db86470 ("arm64: relocatable: fix inconsistencies in linker script and options")
