s390: remove uncompressed kernel image build
Dropping support for uncompressed kernel "image" build. Having both image and bzImage makes it complicated to add new code to an early boot phase (which is part of vmlinux for uncompressed kernel and a separate arch/s390/boot/compressed/vmlinux for bzImage). e.g. sclp_early_core.o is used for both, the decompressor phase and the main kernel. The fact of having uncompressed kernel "image" forces us to have a single object file and sacrifice instrumentation flags on such files (so that we could use them early). The story gets much more complicated with the need to utilize some of the string functions. With bzImage only support, we have 2 separate boot stages each built and linked separately, which allows to reuse some shared code, but recompile with appropriate flags.
