Tejun Heo 46176b4f6b x86, relocs: ignore R_386_NONE in kernel relocation entries
For relocatable 32bit kernels, boot/compressed/relocs.c processes
relocation entries in the kernel image and appends it to the kernel
image such that boot/compressed/head_32.S can relocate the kernel.
The kernel image is one statically linked object and only uses two
relocation types - R_386_PC32 and R_386_32, of the two only the latter
needs massaging during kernel relocation and thus handled by relocs.
R_386_PC32 is ignored and all other relocation types are considered
error.

When the target of a relocation resides in a discarded section,
binutils doesn't throw away the relocation record but nullifies it by
changing it to R_386_NONE, which unfortunately makes relocs fail.

The problem was triggered by yet out-of-tree x86 stack unwind patches
but given the binutils behavior, ignoring R_386_NONE is the right
thing to do.

The problem has been tracked down to binutils behavior by Jan Beulich.

[ Impact: fix build with certain binutils by ignoring R_386_NONE ]
