Subject: um: Don't discard .text.exit section

From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com>

commit dad2232844073295c64e9cc2d734a0ade043e0f6 upstream.

Commit e41f501d3912 ("vmlinux.lds: account for destructor sections")
added '.text.exit' to EXIT_TEXT which is discarded at link time by default.
This breaks compilation of UML:
     `.text.exit' referenced in section `.fini_array' of
     /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/6/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.a(sdlerror.o):
     defined in discarded section `.text.exit' of
     /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/6/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.a(sdlerror.o)

Apparently UML doesn't want to discard exit text, so let's place all EXIT_TEXT
sections in .exit.text.
