Both .dynamic and .got are RELRO sections and should be placed together,
and LLD emits an error:

  ld.lld: error: section: .got is not contiguous with other relro sections

Place them together to avoid this.

The kernel does not require this but normally all read-only sections
precede SHF_WRITE sections.
.dynamic and .got have the SHF_WRITE flag and should be placed here.

Ideally, the order is: R RX RW(RELRO) RW(non-RELRO)  (LLD order)

For comparison:
GNU ld -z separate-code order: R RX R RW(RELRO) RW(non-RELRO) (GNU
ld>=2.31 enables -z separate-code by default for Linux x86)
GNU ld -z noseparate-code order: RX RW(RELRO) RW(non-RELRO)

(AFAIK The only reason .dynamic is writable is due to DT_DEBUG (whose
purpose is questionable nowadays). mips .dynamic is read-only. LLD has
an option -z rodynamic to make .dynamic readonly)

Applied to powerpc/next.
