[PATCH v2 11/13] kbuild: always postpone CRC links for module versioning

[Masahiro Yamada]

When CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y, the CRCs of EXPORT_SYMBOL are linked into
*.o files in-place.

It is impossible for Clang LTO because *.o files are not ELF, but LLVM
bitcode. The CRCs are stored in separate *.symversions files, and then
supplied to the modpost link.

Let's do so for CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=n, and unify the module versioning code.
