Catch any symbols placed in .got, .got.plt, .plt, .rel.dyn
or .rela.dyn and check for these sections to be zero-sized
at link time.

At least two of them were noticed in real builds:

mips-alpine-linux-musl-ld: warning: orphan section `.rel.dyn'
from `init/main.o' being placed in section `.rel.dyn'

ld.lld: warning: <internal>:(.got) is being placed in '.got'

Adopted from x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S.

Reported-by: Nathan Chancellor <redacted> # .got
Suggested-by: Fangrui Song <redacted> # .rel.dyn

(INFO) drops the SHF_ALLOC flag from the output section (It does not
mean "informational"). INFO is not need here.
The diff from 815d680771ae09080d2da83dac2647c08cdf99ce "x86/build:
Enforce an empty .got.plt section" is not needed.

 }
x86 has both .rel.dyn and .rela.dyn because i386 psABI uses REL while
x86-64 psABI uses RELA, but mips does not need .rela.dyn
