[PATCH 2/4] module, arm64: force sh_addr=0 for arch-specific sections

When linking modules with 'ld.bfd -r', sections defined without an address
inherit the location counter, resulting in non-zero sh_addr values in the
resulting .ko files. Relocatable objects are expected to have sh_addr=0 for
all sections. Non-zero addresses are confusing in this context, typically
worse compressible, and may cause tools to misbehave [1].

Force sh_addr=0 for all arm64-specific module sections.

Note that the definition of .text.hot hasn't matched any input sections
since commit 1ba9f8979426 ("vmlinux.lds: Unify TEXT_MAIN, DATA_MAIN, and
related macros"), and even before that with CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y.

The preceding comment also explains that the directive is necessary to
merge section groups. However, this approach seems suboptimal. A better
method would be to link modules using --force-group-allocation to retain
only one copy of each group.

I plan to look at this separately.
