[PATCH v9 6/6] riscv: Use --emit-relocs in order to move .rela.dyn in init

[Alexandre Ghiti]

To circumvent an issue where placing the relocations inside the init
sections produces empty relocations, use --emit-relocs. But to avoid
carrying those relocations in vmlinux, use an intermediate
vmlinux.relocs file which is a copy of vmlinux *before* stripping its
relocations.
