Under certain circumstances, this can lead to the same situation as fixed by commit 637a642f5ca5 ("zstd: Fixing mixed module-builtin objects"). Plus, those three common object files are relatively big to duplicate them several times. Introduce the new module, rvu_cptcommon, to provide the common functions to both modules.
