  x86/build: Avoid relocation information in final vmlinux (2023-06-14 19:54:40 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
- Remove relocation information from vmlinux as it is not needed by
  other tooling and thus a slimmer binary is generated. This is
  important for distros who have to distribute vmlinux blobs with their
  kernel packages too and that extraneous unnecessary data bloats them
  for no good reason
