Masahiro Yamada c25e1c5582 kbuild: do not create *.prelink.o for Clang LTO or IBT
When CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, additional intermediate *.prelink.o is created
for each module. Also, objtool is postponed until LLVM IR is converted
to ELF.

CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT works in a similar way to postpone objtool until
objects are merged together.

This commit stops generating *.prelink.o, so the build flow will look
similar with/without LTO.

The following figures show how the LTO build currently works, and
how this commit is changing it.

Current build flow
==================

 [1] single-object module

                                      $(LD)
           $(CC)                     +objtool              $(LD)
    foo.c --------------------> foo.o -----> foo.prelink.o -----> foo.ko
                              (LLVM IR)          (ELF)       |    (ELF)
                                                             |
                                                 foo.mod.o --/
                                                 (LLVM IR)

 [2] multi-object module
                                      $(LD)
           $(CC)         $(AR)       +objtool               $(LD)
    foo1.c -----> foo1.o -----> foo.o -----> foo.prelink.o -----> foo.ko
                           |  (archive)          (ELF)       |    (ELF)
    foo2.c -----> foo2.o --/                                 |
                 (LLVM IR)                       foo.mod.o --/
                                                 (LLVM IR)

  One confusion is that foo.o in multi-object module is an archive
  despite of its suffix.

New build flow
==============

 [1] single-object module

  Since there is only one object, there is no need to keep the LLVM IR.
  Use $(CC)+$(LD) to generate an ELF object in one build rule. When LTO
  is disabled, $(LD) is unneeded because $(CC) produces an ELF object.

               $(CC)+$(LD)+objtool              $(LD)
    foo.c ----------------------------> foo.o ---------> foo.ko
                                        (ELF)     |      (ELF)
                                                  |
                                      foo.mod.o --/
                                      (LLVM IR)

 [2] multi-object module

  Previously, $(AR) was used to combine LLVM IR files into an archive,
  but there was no technical reason to do so. Use $(LD) to merge them
  into a single ELF object.

                               $(LD)
             $(CC)            +objtool          $(LD)
    foo1.c ---------> foo1.o ---------> foo.o ---------> foo.ko
                                 |      (ELF)     |      (ELF)
    foo2.c ---------> foo2.o ----/                |
                     (LLVM IR)        foo.mod.o --/
                                      (LLVM IR)
