    xen/x86: prevent addition of .note.gnu.property if livepatch is enabled
    
    GNU assembly that supports such feature will unconditionally add a
    .note.gnu.property section to object files.  The content of that section can
    change depending on the generated instructions.  The current logic in
    livepatch-build-tools doesn't know how to deal with such section changing
    as a result of applying a patch and rebuilding.
    
    Since .note.gnu.property is not consumed by the Xen build, suppress its
    addition when livepatch support is enabled.
