31c2bb0cd1 arch: arm: force 4K page alignment in linker
Since 5c71f8110, the u-boot.elf produced by dragonboard410c_defconfig no
longer fits in the 1MiB aboot partition it is intended for.

To be precise, this issue occurs on toolchains that have a linker with a
COMMONPAGESIZE > 4K. Since u-boot is hardcoded for 4K granules, we
ensure that the linker doesn't try to align to anything larger than
that, otherwise we're just filling our ELFs with a bunch of useless
zeros.
