After building the VDSO, there is a verification that it contains
no dynamic relocation, see commit aff69273af61 ("vdso: Improve
cmd_vdso_check to check all dynamic relocations").

This verification uses readelf -r and doesn't work if rela sections
are discarded.

Fixes: 8ad57add77d3 ("powerpc/build: vdso linker warning for orphan sections")

Was part of series "Wire up getrandom() vDSO implementation on powerpc" but
it is not directly related and should be fixed independantly as it may happen
already, for instance if the compiler wants rest_gpr30 instead of rest_gpr31.

Applied to powerpc/fixes.
