[PATCH v6 03/29] vmlinux.lds.h: Avoid KASAN and KCSAN's unwanted sections

Kees Cook keescook at chromium.org

KASAN (-fsanitize=kernel-address) and KCSAN (-fsanitize=thread)
produce unwanted[1] .eh_frame and .init_array.* sections. Add them to
COMMON_DISCARDS, except with CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS, which wants to keep
.init_array.* sections.
