Subject: [PATCH v6 2/2] x86/purgatory: Make sure we fail the build if purgatory.ro has missing symbols

Linking purgatory.ro with -r enables "incremental linking" this means
no checks for unresolved symbols are done while linking purgatory.ro.

A change to the sha256 code has caused the purgatory in 5.4-rc1 to have
a missing symbol on memzero_explicit, yet things still happily build.

Add an extra check for unresolved symbols by calling ld without -r before
running bin2c to generate kexec-purgatory.c.

This causes a build of 5.4-rc1 with this patch added to fail as it should:

  CHK     arch/x86/purgatory/purgatory.ro
ld: arch/x86/purgatory/purgatory.ro: in function `sha256_transform':
sha256.c:(.text+0x1c0c): undefined reference to `memzero_explicit'
make[2]: *** [arch/x86/purgatory/Makefile:72:
    arch/x86/purgatory/kexec-purgatory.c] Error 1
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:509: arch/x86/purgatory] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:1650: arch/x86] Error 2

Also remove --no-undefined from LDFLAGS_purgatory.ro as that has
no effect.
