s390: Put allocated ELF notes in read-only data segment

This changes the s390 linker script to use the asm-generic NOTES macro so that
ELF note sections with SHF_ALLOC set are linked into the kernel image along
with other read-only data.  The PT_NOTE also points to their location.

This paves the way for putting useful build-time information into ELF notes
that can be found easily later in a kernel memory dump.
