Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.3 31/71] x86/purgatory: Disable the stackleak GCC plugin for the purgatory

From: Arvind Sankar <nivedita@...m.mit.edu>

[ Upstream commit ca14c996afe7228ff9b480cf225211cc17212688 ]

Since commit:

  b059f801a937 ("x86/purgatory: Use CFLAGS_REMOVE rather than reset KBUILD_CFLAGS")

kexec breaks if GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK=y is enabled, as the purgatory
contains undefined references to stackleak_track_stack.

Attempting to load a kexec kernel results in this failure:

  kexec: Undefined symbol: stackleak_track_stack
  kexec-bzImage64: Loading purgatory failed

Fix this by disabling the stackleak plugin for the purgatory.
