Instead of generating the vmlinux.relocs file (needed by the
decompressor build to construct the KASLR relocation tables) as a
vmlinux postlink step, which is dubious because it depends on data that
is stripped from vmlinux before the build completes, generate it from
vmlinux.unstripped, which has been introduced specifically for this
purpose.
This ensures that each artifact is rebuilt as needed, rather than as a
side effect of another build rule.
This effectively reverts commit

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
