tile: support static_key usage in non-module __exit sections
Previously, all the __exit sections were just dropped by the link phase. However, if there are static_key (jump label) constructs in __exit sections that are not modules, the link fails with the message: `.exit.text' referenced in section `__jump_table' of xxx.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of xxx.o Support this usage by keeping the .exit.text sections in the final image if JUMP_LABEL is defined, then discarding them once initialization is complete.
