Bump QEMU defconfigs to latest longterm kernel 5.4.88.

Please note that QEMU boards not based on 5.4.y were ignored:
- qemu_csky810_virt_defconfig
- qemu_csky807_virt_defconfig
- qemu_csky610_virt_defconfig
- qemu_csky860_virt_defconfig

Tests were carried out on all QEMU boards using Gitlab [1] (commit
message was slightly different, but the patch is identical)

Additional actions needed were:
- board/qemu/sh4-r2d: Remove one of the two kernel patches [2] provided
  by Alan Modra fixing rodata alignment, carried here by Romain Naour [3]
  to fix an issue preventing kernel from booting with binutils 2.23.
  Patch is present in upstream Linux now.

Thanks for doing this. For the powerpc boards in particular:

Is there a plan to move boards up to v5.10 now that is the latest LTS?

Yes, that's something we can do for 2021.02.

@Geoffrey, if you're interested to do this change, feel free to do it :)

Best regards,
Romain

Cheers,

Joel
