The BFD linker generates run-time relocations for z_input_len and z_output_len, even though they are absolute symbols. This is fixed for binutils-2.35 [1]. Work around this for earlier versions by defining two variables input_len and output_len in addition to the symbols, and use them via position-independent references. This eliminates the last two run-time relocations in the head code and allows us to drop the -z noreloc-overflow flag to the linker. Move the -pie and --no-dynamic-linker LDFLAGS to LDFLAGS_vmlinux instead of KBUILD_LDFLAGS. There shouldn't be anything else getting linked, but this is the more logical location for these flags, and modversions might call the linker if an EXPORT_SYMBOL is left over accidentally in one of the decompressors.
