Subject: [PATCH] lkdtm: Fix content of section containing
 lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing()

On a kernel without CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX, running EXEC_RODATA
test leads to "Illegal instruction" failure.

Looking at the content of rodata_objcopy.o, we see that the
function content zeroes only:

	Disassembly of section .rodata:

	0000000000000000 <.lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing>:
	   0:	00 00 00 00 	.long 0x0

Add the contents flag in order to keep the content of the section
while renaming it.

	Disassembly of section .rodata:

	0000000000000000 <.lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing>:
	   0:	4e 80 00 20 	blr
