Subject: [PATCH v5 03/19] x86, boot: Simplify run_size calculation

While looking at the boot code to add mem mapping for kasl
with 64bit above 4G support, I found that e6023367d779 ("x86, kaslr: Prevent
.bss from overlaping initrd") and later introduced way to get kernel run_size
and pass it around.  First via perl and then change to shell scripts.

That is not necessary. As that run_size is simple constant, we don't
need to pass it around and we already have voffset.h for that.

We can share voffset.h between misc.c and header.S instead
of adding other way to get run_size.

This patch:
Move voffset.h creation code to boot/compressed/Makefile.

Dependence was:
boot/header.S ==> boot/voffset.h ==> vmlinux
boot/header.S ==> compressed/vmlinux ==> compressed/misc.c
Now become:
boot/header.S ==> compressed/vmlinux ==> compressed/misc.c ==> boot/voffset.h ==> vmlinux

Use macro in misc.c to replace passed run_size.

Fixes: e6023367d779 ("x86, kaslr: Prevent .bss from overlaping initrd")
