[PATCH 6.3] riscv: Link with '-z norelro'

This patch fixes a stable only patch, so it has no direct upstream
equivalent.

After a stable only patch to explicitly handle the '.got' section to
handle an orphan section warning from the linker, certain configurations
error when linking with ld.lld, which enables relro by default:

  ld.lld: error: section: .got is not contiguous with other relro sections

This has come up with other architectures before, such as arm and arm64
in commit 0cda9bc15dfc ("ARM: 9038/1: Link with '-z norelro'") and
commit 3b92fa7485eb ("arm64: link with -z norelro regardless of
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE"). Additionally, '-z norelro' is used unconditionally
for RISC-V upstream after commit 26e7aacb83df ("riscv: Allow to
downgrade paging mode from the command line"), which alluded to this
issue for the same reason. Bring 6.3 in line with mainline and link with
'-z norelro', which resolves the above link failure.

Fixes: e6d1562dd4e9 ("riscv: vmlinux.lds.S: Explicitly handle '.got' section")
