Revert "init/Kconfig: add option to disable kernel compression"

Browse Source 
This reverts commit 69f0554ec261fd686ac7fa1c598cc9eb27b83a80.

This patch breaks randconfig on at least the x86-64 architecture, and
most likely on others.  There is work underway to support uncompressed
kernels in a generic way, but it looks like it will amount to
rewriting the support from scratch; see the LKML thread in the Link:
for info.

Therefore, revert this change and wait for the fix.

No compression at all. The kernel is huge but the compression and
decompression times are zero.
This is usually not what you want.
