Ard Biesheuvel b0dddf6c14 efi/arm: Fix absolute relocation detection for older toolchains
When building the ARM kernel with CONFIG_EFI=y, the following build
error may occur when using a less recent version of binutils (2.23 or
older):

   STUBCPY drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib-sort.stub.o
 00000000 R_ARM_ABS32       sort
 00000004 R_ARM_ABS32       __ksymtab_strings
 drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib-sort.stub.o: absolute symbol references not allowed in the EFI stub

(and when building with debug symbols, the list above is much longer, and
contains all the internal references between the .debug sections and the
actual code)

This issue is caused by the fact that objcopy v2.23 or earlier does not
support wildcards in its -R and -j options, which means the following
line from the Makefile:

  STUBCOPY_FLAGS-y		:= -R .debug* -R *ksymtab* -R *kcrctab*

fails to take effect, leaving harmless absolute relocations in the binary
that are indistinguishable from relocations that may cause crashes at
runtime due to the fact that these relocations are resolved at link time
using the virtual address of the kernel, which is always different from
the address at which the EFI firmware loads and invokes the stub.

So, as a workaround, disable debug symbols explicitly when building the
stub for ARM, and strip the ksymtab and kcrctab symbols for the only
exported symbol we currently reuse in the stub, which is 'sort'.
