On a kernel without CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX, running EXEC_RODATA
test leads to "Illegal instruction" failure.

Looking at the content of rodata_objcopy.o, we see that the
function content zeroes only:

        Disassembly of section .rodata:

        0000000000000000 <.lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing>:
           0:   00 00 00 00     .long 0x0

Add the contents flag in order to keep the content of the section
while renaming it.

        Disassembly of section .rodata:

        0000000000000000 <.lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing>:
           0:   4e 80 00 20     blr

Fixes: e9e08a07385e ("lkdtm: support llvm-objcopy")
Thanks for the patch; sorry I broke this.
