[PATCH FIX] powerpc: discard .exit.data at runtime

From: Stephen Rothwell <hidden>
Date: 2015-10-07 23:28:28
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

.exit.text is discarded at run time and there are some references from
that to .exit.data, so we need to discard .exit.data at run time as well.

Fixes these errors:

`.exit.data' referenced in section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.data' of drivers/built-in.o
`.exit.data' referenced in section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.data' of drivers/built-in.o

I have only seen this with an allyesconfig build which fails for other
reasons.
