x86: disable image size check for test builds 

commit 00a241f528 upstream.

64-bit allyesconfig builds fail with

x86_64-linux-ld: kernel image bigger than KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE

Bisect points to commit 6f110a5e4f ("Disable SLUB_TINY for build
testing") as the responsible commit.  Reverting that patch does indeed fix
the problem.  Further analysis shows that disabling SLUB_TINY enables
KASAN, and that KASAN is responsible for the image size increase.

Solve the build problem by disabling the image size check for test
builds.
