lkdtm: support llvm-objcopy

With CONFIG_LKDTM=y and make OBJCOPY=llvm-objcopy, llvm-objcopy errors:
llvm-objcopy: error: --set-section-flags=.text conflicts with
--rename-section=.text=.rodata

Rather than support setting flags then renaming sections vs renaming
then setting flags, it's simpler to just change both at the same time
via --rename-section. Adding the load flag is required for GNU objcopy
to mark .rodata Type as PROGBITS after the rename.

This can be verified with:
$ readelf -S drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata_objcopy.o
...
Section Headers:
  [Nr] Name              Type             Address           Offset
       Size              EntSize          Flags  Link  Info  Align
...
  [ 1] .rodata           PROGBITS         0000000000000000  00000040
       0000000000000004  0000000000000000   A       0     0     4
...

Which shows that .text is now renamed .rodata, the alloc flag A is set,
the type is PROGBITS, and the section is not flagged as writeable W.
