[PATCH v3 3/3] powerpc: Discard .branch_lt section

[Joel Stanley]

When building a 32 bit powerpc kernel with Binutils 2.31.1 this warning
is emitted:

 powerpc-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `.branch_lt' from
 `arch/powerpc/kernel/head_44x.o' being placed in section `.branch_lt'

As of binutils commit 2d7ad24e8726 ("Support PLT16 relocs against local
symbols")[1], 32 bit targets can produce .branch_lt sections in their
output.

These sections should be empty for the kernel build so discard them for
both PPC64 and PPC32.

v2: Discard instead of keep. Alan said "[discarding] can be a recipe for
finding linker bugs", so lets go with that.
