[PATCH] kbuild: let object files depend on recordmcount instead of its sources

[Uwe Kleine-KÃnig]

This has the upside that distributions only have to ship the recordmcount
binary to allow building modules instead of recordmcount and it's sources.

Make still notices that the object files need to be rebuilt when
recordmcount's sources change.
