x86/boot: Work around broken busybox 'truncate' tool
The GNU coreutils version of truncate, which is the original, accepts a
% prefix for the -s size argument which means the file in question
should be padded to a multiple of the given size. This is currently used
to pad the setup block of bzImage to a multiple of 4k before appending
the decompressor.
busybox reimplements truncate but does not support this idiom, and
therefore fails the build since commit
9c54baa ("x86/boot: Drop CRC-32 checksum and the build tool that generates it")
Since very little build code within the kernel depends on the 'truncate'
utility, work around this incompatibility by avoiding truncate altogether,
and relying on dd to perform the padding.
Fixes: 9c54baa ("x86/boot: Drop CRC-32 checksum and the build tool that generates it")
