s390/decompressor: trim uncompressed image head during the build
It seems to be suboptimal to compress the entire image, so that we could decompress and throw away the first 68k (0x11000) during the boot process. This patch trims 0x11000 bytes during the build process and adjusts symbols in size.h accordingly. Besides making bzImage smaller, this change would also be a benefit for kaslr. It allows to decompress the kernel right to desired offset, without worrying about dead weight in front of the decompressed image.
