Subject: [PATCH] arm64/efi: fix libstub build under CONFIG_MODVERSIONS

Now that we strictly forbid absolute relocations in libstub code,
make sure that we don't emit any when CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is enabled,
by stripping the kcrctab sections from the object file. This fixes
a build problem under CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y.

I *think* this should be OK.
