Commit 5b11f1cee579 ("x86, boot: straighten out ranges to copy/zero in
compressed/head*.S") introduced a separate .pgtable section, splitting
it out from the rest of .bss. This section was added without the
writeable flag, marking it as read-only. This results in the linker
putting the .rela.dyn section (containing bogus dynamic relocations from
head_64.o) after the .bss and .pgtable sections.

When we use objcopy to convert compressed/vmlinux into a binary for the
bzImage, the .bss and .pgtable sections get materialized as ~176KiB of
zero bytes in the binary in order to place .rela.dyn at the correct
location.

Fix this by marking .pgtable as writeable. This moves the .rela.dyn
section earlier so that .bss and .pgtable are the last allocated
sections and so don't appear in bzImage.
