MIPS: OCTEON: omit ELF NOTE segments

Browse Source 
OCTEON Pre-SDK-1.8.1 bootloaders can not handle PT_NOTE program headers,
so do not emit them.

Before the patch:

$ readelf --program-headers octeon-vmlinux

Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file)
Entry point 0xffffffff815d09d0
There are 2 program headers, starting at offset 64

Program Headers:
  Type           Offset             VirtAddr           PhysAddr
                 FileSiz            MemSiz              Flags  Align
  LOAD           0x0000000000001000 0xffffffff81100000 0xffffffff81100000
                 0x0000000000b57f80 0x0000000001b86360  RWE    1000
  NOTE           0x00000000004e02e0 0xffffffff815df2e0 0xffffffff815df2e0
                 0x0000000000000024 0x0000000000000024  R      4

After the patch:

$ readelf --program-headers octeon-vmlinux

Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file)
Entry point 0xffffffff815d09d0
There are 1 program headers, starting at offset 64

Program Headers:
  Type           Offset             VirtAddr           PhysAddr
                 FileSiz            MemSiz              Flags  Align
  LOAD           0x0000000000001000 0xffffffff81100000 0xffffffff81100000
                 0x0000000000b57f80 0x0000000001b86360  RWE    1000

The patch was tested on DSR-1000N router.
