Re: [PATCH v3] scripts/gcc-plugins: suppress recorded GCC switches for extmod builds

With GCC plugins enabled, external module builds can record
-fplugin=... paths in DWARF producer metadata via
-grecord-gcc-switches, leaking host/build specific paths and

Handle this in scripts/Makefile.gcc-plugins for KBUILD_EXTMOD
builds by adding -gno-record-gcc-switches to plugin cflags.

This keeps plugin behavior unchanged while avoiding absolute
plugin path leakage in external module debug metadata.

Maybe it makes sense to add a note on how to restore the original
behaviour for those who may want to have the gcc switches recorded in
debug data for external kmods ('make KCFLAGS=-grecord-gcc-switches').
