Currently we are using the .pad section to ensure the zImage file size
aligned to 8 bytes.

But that is not needed when CONFIG_EFI_STUB enabled, as it would
followed by a 512 bytes aligned .data section.

Changes in v2:
Remove .pad section when CONFIG_EFI_STUB enabled as Russell King <linux@armlinux.org.uk> suggested.
