[PATCH v2] KVM: arm64: nvhe: Fix build with profile optimization

Kernel build with clang and KCFLAGS=-fprofile-sample-use fails with:
error: arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/kvm_nvhe.tmp.o: Unexpected SHT_REL
section ".rel.llvm.call-graph-profile"
Starting from 13.0.0 llvm can generate SHT_REL section, see
https://reviews.llvm.org/rGca3bdb57fa1ac98b711a735de048c12b5fdd8086.
gen-hyprel does not support SHT_REL relocation section.
Remove ".llvm.call-graph-profile" SHT_REL relocation from kvm_nvhe
to fix the build.

V1 -> V2: Remove the relocation instead of disabling the profile-use flags.
