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
