[meta-xilinx] [PATCH] linux/config: For Zynq hard disable CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA

CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA was switched to default yes in v4.6+ kernels. Whilst
the feature works correctly it causes changes with how the kernel
.head.text and .text sections are padded which allows for memory below
0x80000 (512KB) to be non-reserved and used as memory for DMA
allocations which do not work on Zynq due to devices not being allowed
to access DDR below 0x80000. Disabling CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA prevents the
padding between .head.text/.text.
