Subject: [PATCH v17 3/9] x86/objtool: Enable objtool on x86_64

Set HAVE_STACK_VALIDATION to enable stack metadata validation for
x86_64.

Also, disable objtool checking for the kexec purgatory code, because:

1. It's built by the archprepare target, which can run before objtool
   has been built yet.

2. It runs outside the scope of the kernel's normal mode of operation
   and doesn't need stack checking anyway.
