arm64: errata: Pass --fix-cortex-a53-843419 to ld if workaround enabled
Cortex-A53 erratum 843419 is worked around by the linker, although it is a configure-time option to GCC as to whether ld is actually asked to apply the workaround or not. This patch ensures that we pass --fix-cortex-a53-843419 to the linker when both CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_843419=y and the linker supports the option.

If unsure, say Y.
