x86/entry: Build thunk_$(BITS) only if CONFIG_PREEMPTION=y

With CONFIG_PREEMPTION disabled, arch/x86/entry/thunk_64.o is just an
empty object file.

With the newer binutils (tested with 2.35.90.20210113-1ubuntu1) the GNU
assembler doesn't generate a symbol table for empty object files and
objtool fails with the following error when a valid symbol table cannot
be found:

arch/x86/entry/thunk_64.o: warning: objtool: missing symbol table

To prevent this from happening, build thunk_$(BITS).o only if
CONFIG_PREEMPTION is enabled.
