FROMLIST: x86/boot: allow a relocatable kernel to be linked with lld

LLD by default disallows relocations in read-only segments. For a
relocatable kernel, we pass -z notext to the linker to explicitly
allow relocations. This behavior is the default for BFD.

[adelva: ndesaulniers notes this is a simpler alternative to the
         upstream fix that is hard to backport to 5.4 due to many
         x86 assembler changes]
