Subject[PATCH v4 mips-next 0/7] MIPS: vmlinux.lds.S sections fixes & cleanup
This series hunts the problems discovered after manual enabling of
ARCH_WANT_LD_ORPHAN_WARN. Notably:
- adds the missing PAGE_ALIGNED_DATA() section affecting VDSO
placement (marked for stable);
- properly stops .eh_frame section generation.

Compile and runtime tested on MIPS32R2 CPS board with no issues
using two different toolkits:
- Binutils 2.35.1, GCC 10.2.0;
- LLVM stack 11.0.0.

Since v3 [2]:
- fix the third patch as GNU stack emits .rel.dyn into VDSO for
some reason if .cfi_sections is specified.

Since v2 [1]:
- stop discarding .eh_frame and just prevent it from generating
(Kees);
- drop redundant sections assertions (Fangrui);
- place GOT table in .text instead of asserting as it's not empty
when building with LLVM (Nathan);
- catch compound literals in generic definitions when building with
LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION (Kees);
- collect two Reviewed-bys (Kees).

Since v1 [0]:
- catch .got entries too as LLD may produce it (Nathan);
- check for unwanted sections to be zero-sized instead of
discarding (Fangrui).
