[PATCH v6 kspp-next 02/22] kbuild: merge vmlinux_link() between the ordinary link and Clang LTO

From: Alexander Lobakin <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-31 14:42:27
Also in: linux-hardening, linux-kbuild, lkml
Subsystem: kernel build + files below scripts/ (unless maintained elsewhere), the rest · Maintainers: Nathan Chancellor, Nicolas Schier, Linus Torvalds

From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

When Clang LTO is enabled, vmlinux_link() reuses vmlinux.o instead of
re-linking ${KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS} and ${KBUILD_VMLINUX_LIBS}.

That is the only difference here, so merge the similar code.
