[PATCH v2 4/9] kbuild: refactor modversions build rules

[Masahiro Yamada]

Let $(CC) compile objects into normal files *.o instead of .tmp_*.o
whether CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is enabled or not. With this, the input
file for objtool is always *.o so objtool_o can go away.

I guess the reason of using .tmp_*.o for intermediate objects was
to avoid leaving incomplete *.o file (, whose timestamp says it is
up-to-date) when the genksyms tool failed for some reasons.

It no longer matters because any targets are deleted on errors since
commit 9c2af1c7377a ("kbuild: add .DELETE_ON_ERROR special target").

Changes in v2:
 - Clarify the benefit of this patch
   It is nice to delete objtool_o and ease the following commits
