[PATCH RFC 3/5] kbuild/extable: Hook up sortextable into the build system.

[David Daney]

From: David Daney <david.daney@xxxxxxxxxx>

Define a config variable BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT to control build time
sorting of the kernel's exception table.

Patch Makefile to do the sorting when BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT is
selected.
