x86/entry: Build thunk_$(BITS) only if CONFIG_PREEMPTION=y
[ Upstream commit de979c83574abf6e78f3fa65b716515c91b2613d ]
With CONFIG_PREEMPTION disabled, arch/x86/entry/thunk_$(BITS).o becomes
an empty object file.
With some old versions of binutils (i.e., 2.35.90.20210113-1ubuntu1) the
GNU assembler doesn't generate a symbol table for empty object files and
objtool fails with the following error when a valid symbol table cannot
be found:
arch/x86/entry/thunk_64.o: warning: objtool: missing symbol table
To prevent this from happening, build thunk_$(BITS).o only if
CONFIG_PREEMPTION is enabled.
