[PATCH] LoongArch: Fix an issue with relocatable vmlinux

Normally vmlinux for LoongArch is of ET_EXEC type, while if built with
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE (this is PIE) and Clang, it will be of ET_DYN type.
Meanwhile, physical address field of segments in vmlinux has actually
the same value as virtual address field.

Similar to arm64, this patch allows to unconditionally skip the check
on LoongArch.
