[PATCH v1 3/3] riscv/purgatory: do not link with string.o

From: Petr Tesarik <petr.tesarik.ext at huawei.com>

Linking with this object file it makes kexec_file_load(2) fail with:

 kexec_image: Unknown rela relocation: 20
 kexec_image: Error loading purgatory ret=-8

This is R_RISCV_GOT_HI20, generated by the linker to handle references to
the global variable _ctype from strcasecmp() and strncasecmp().

Rather than implementing GOT for the purgatory, remove the object file,
because it is not needed by the purgatory code.

Fixes: 838b3e28488f ("RISC-V: Load purgatory in kexec_file")
