Right now, powerpc adds "--orphan-handling=warn" to LD_FLAGS_vmlinux
to detect when there are unexpected sections getting added to the kernel
image. There is no need to report these warnings more than once, so it
can be removed until the final link stage.
This helps pave the way for other architectures to enable this, with the
end goal of enabling this warning by default for vmlinux for all
architectures.
