Set the noexec flag to prevent tasks from executing instead of deleting
them. This allows inter-tasks dependencies on these tasks to still
function. For example, perf has the line:

 do_populate_lic[depends] += "virtual/kernel:do_patch"

which will break if the kernel uses EXTERNALSRC and the do_patch task is
deleted.
