Vivian Wang 66562b66dc riscv: boot: Always make Image from vmlinux, not vmlinux.unstripped
Since commit 4b47a3aefb ("kbuild: Restore pattern to avoid stripping
.rela.dyn from vmlinux") vmlinux has .rel*.dyn preserved. Therefore, use
vmlinux to produce Image, not vmlinux.unstripped.

Doing so fixes booting a RELOCATABLE=y Image with kexec. The problem is
caused by this chain of events:

- Since commit 3e86e4d74c ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
  vmlinux.unstripped"), vmlinux.unstripped gets a .modinfo section.
- The .modinfo section has SHF_ALLOC, so it ends up in Image, at the end
  of it.
- The Image header's image_size field does not expect to include
  .modinfo and does not account for it, since it should not be in Image.
- If .modinfo is large enough, the file size of Image ends up larger
  than image_size, which eventually leads to it failing
  sanity_check_segment_list().

Using vmlinux instead of vmlinux.unstripped means that the unexpected
.modinfo section is gone from Image, fixing the file size problem.
