[PATCH v2 10/18] arm64: add a workaround for GNU gold with ARM64_MODULE_PLTS

CONFIG_CLANG_LTO depends on GNU gold and due to a known bug, the
linker crashes when ARM64_MODULE_PLTS is enabled:

  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14592

To work around the problem, this change removes NOLOAD from .plt
and .init.plt, which allows us to link modules with ld.gold.
