arm64: module: remove (NOLOAD) from linker script

Browse source 
On ELF, (NOLOAD) sets the section type to SHT_NOBITS[1]. It is conceptually
inappropriate for .plt and .text.* sections which are always
SHT_PROGBITS.

In GNU ld, if PLT entries are needed, .plt will be SHT_PROGBITS anyway
and (NOLOAD) will be essentially ignored. In ld.lld, since
https://reviews.llvm.org/D118840 ("[ELF] Support (TYPE=<value>) to
customize the output section type"), ld.lld will report a `section type
mismatch` error. Just remove (NOLOAD) to fix the error.

[1] https://lld.llvm.org/ELF/linker_script.html As of today, "The
section should be marked as not loadable" on
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Output-Section-Type.html is
outdated for ELF.
