ARM: 9038/1: Link with '-z norelro'

When linking a multi_v7_defconfig + CONFIG_KASAN=y kernel with
LD=ld.lld, the following error occurs:

$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- LLVM=1 zImage
ld.lld: error: section: .exit.data is not contiguous with other relro sections

LLD defaults to '-z relro', which is unneeded for the kernel because
program headers are not used nor is there any position independent code
generation or linking for ARM. Add '-z norelro' to LDFLAGS_vmlinux to
avoid this error.
