kbuild: unify two modpost invocations
Currently, modpost is executed twice; first for vmlinux, second
for modules.
This commit merges them.
Current build flow
==================
1) build obj-y and obj-m objects
2) link vmlinux.o
3) modpost for vmlinux
4) link vmlinux
5) modpost for modules
6) link modules (*.ko)
The build steps 1) through 6) are serialized, that is, modules are
built after vmlinux. You do not get benefits of parallel builds when
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh is being run.
New build flow
==============
1) build obj-y and obj-m objects
2) link vmlinux.o
3) modpost for vmlinux and modules
4a) link vmlinux
4b) link modules (*.ko)
In the new build flow, modpost is invoked just once.
vmlinux and modules are built in parallel. One exception is
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES=y, where modules depend on vmlinux.
