The default linker emulation for an aarch64-linux ld.bfd is
-maarch64linux, the default for an aarch64-elf linker is
-maarch64elf.  They are not equivalent.  If you choose -maarch64elf
you get an emulation that doesn't support -z relro.

Now I don't know why the kernel uses -maarch64elf so you shouldn't
interpret my comment as a recommendation to use -maarch64linux
instead.  That may have other unwanted effects.
