Subject[PATCH v3 4/7] tile: support static_key usage in non-module __exit sections
Date
From: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@mellanox.com>

Previously, all the __exit sections were just dropped by
the link phase. However, if there are static_key (jump label)
constructs in __exit sections that are not modules, the link fails
with the message:

`.exit.text' referenced in section `__jump_table' of xxx.o:
defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of xxx.o

Support this usage by keeping the .exit.text sections in the
final image if JUMP_LABEL is defined, then discarding them
once initialization is complete.
