Description

Update from FreeBSD:

With default settings GNU ld generates two PT_LOADs for loader.sym while
LLD generates three, because it creates a rodata segment. Previously
btxldr terminated phdr processing after two PT_LOADs. Remove the early
termination to process all PT_LOADs.

Since we build with GNU ld, the issue is not affecting our build at this time, but it is good cleanup for future in any case.
