In preparation for adding --orphan-handling=warn to more architectures,
make sure unwanted sections don't end up appearing under the .init
section prefix that libstub adds to itself during objcopy.

This option creates .note.gnu.property:

% readelf -n drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/efi-stub.o

If .note.gnu.property is not desired in drivers/firmware/efi/libstub, specifying
-mbranch-protection=none can override -mbranch-protection=pac-ret+leaf
