6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Commit 2e765c02dcbfc2a8a4527c621a84b9502f6b9bd2 upstream ]

Instead of parsing zoffset.h and poking the kernel_info offset value
into the header from the build tool, just grab the value directly in the
asm file that describes this header.

This change has no impact on the resulting bzImage binary.
