kbuild: Remove alignment on .modinfo section
Commit d50f21091358 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat") aligned .modinfo because it appeared in the
x86_64 compressed kernel image after commit 3e86e4d74c04 ("kbuild: keep
.modinfo section in vmlinux.unstripped"), breaking boot.
Commit 8678591b4746 ("kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS")
properly addresses .modinfo appearing in unexpected contexts like
compressed images by moving it out of ELF_DETAILS and explicitly
specifying its location in every architecture's vmlinux linker script or
discarding it where it may appear elsewhere.
Effectively revert commit d50f21091358 ("kbuild: align modinfo section
for Secureboot Authenticode EDK2 compat") and its follow up fix,
commit a26a6c93edfe ("kbuild: Strip trailing padding bytes from
modules.builtin.modinfo"), as they are no longer necessary in the
current tree. This simplifies future cleanups.
