Subject: [PATCH 7/7] efi: disable LTO for EFI stub

Building the EFI stub on 32-bit ARM with LTO resulted in a build error:

arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/arm-stub.stub.o: plugin needed to handle lto object
arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.o: In function `efi_stub_entry':

Locally disabling LTO for this directory seems to do the trick.
