Now that we added special handling to the C files in libstub, move
the one remaining arm64 specific EFI stub C file to libstub as
well, so that it gets the same treatment. This should prevent future
changes from resulting in binaries that may execute incorrectly in
UEFI context.
 
Sorry, I'm coming at this cache-cold: What special handling was added
to libstub that you want to make use of here?
With efi-entry.S the only remaining EFI stub source file under
arch/arm64, we can also simplify the Makefile logic somewhat.

I would like to suggest that this be taken on top of the stuff that is
queued for 4.4 at the moment (if it is not too late already).
 
That's upto the tip folks (Cc'd). Ingo, would you consider applying
a minimal build cleanup patch like this for v4.4?
