89b5202e81 s390/decompressor: support uncompressed kernel
Implement uncompressed kernel support (when "None" is picked in kernel
compression mode list). In that case an actual decompression code is
skipped and control is passed from boot/head.S to startup_continue in
kernel/head64.S. To achieve that uncompressed kernel payload is
conditionally put at 0x100000 in bzImage.

In reality this is very close to classic uncompressed kernel "image",
but the decompressor has its own build and link process,
kernel/head64.S lives at 0x100000 rather than at 0x11000, and .bss
section is reused for both stages.

a5802353b1 s390/decompressor: rename entry point to startup_decompressor
Rename the decompressor entry point to startup_decompressor to
avoid confusion, leaving startup_continue as the entry point of the
uncompressed image.

Also remove obsolete comment, as the decompressor code is
unconditionally called from boot/head.S now.

8282cd64d0 s390/boot: make head.S and als.c be part of the decompressor only
Since uncompressed kernel image does not have to be bootable anymore,
move head.S, head_kdump.S and als.c to boot/ folder and compile them
in just in the decompressor.
