[PATCH v3 14/29] vmlinux.lds.h: Allow EXCEPTION_TABLE to live in RO_DATA

[Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Many architectures have an EXCEPTION_TABLE that only needs to
be readable. As such, it should live in RO_DATA. Create a macro to
identify this case for the architectures that can move EXCEPTION_TABLE
into RO_DATA.
