[PATCH] kbuild: uapi: use -fsyntax-only rather than -S

From: Nick Desaulniers
Date: Wed Mar 30 2022 - 14:36:54 EST


The UAPI header tests are checking that the generated headers do not
have syntax errors. There's no need to run the rest of the compilation
pipeline after semantic analysis has run. Replace -S -o /dev/null with
-fsyntax-only.
