kbuild: merge temporary vmlinux for BTF and kallsyms

CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y requires one additional link step.
(.tmp_vmlinux.btf)

CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y requires two additional link steps.
(.tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1 and .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2)

Enabling both requires three additional link steps.

When CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y and CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y, the current build
process is as follows:

    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.o
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux.btf             # temporary vmlinux for BTF
    BTF     .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1       # temporary vmlinux for kallsyms step 1
    NM      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.syms
    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.o
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2       # temporary vmlinux for kallsyms step 2
    NM      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.syms
    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.o
    LD      vmlinux                      # final vmlinux

This is redundant because the BTF generation and the kallsyms step 1 can
be performed against the same temporary vmlinux.

When both CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF and CONFIG_KALLSYMS are enabled, we can
reduce the number of link steps by one.

This commit changes the build process as follows:

    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux0.kallsyms.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux0.kallsyms.o
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux1                # temporary vmlinux for BTF and kallsyms step 1
    BTF     .tmp_vmlinux1.btf.o
    NM      .tmp_vmlinux1.syms
    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux1.kallsyms.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux1.kallsyms.o
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux2                # temporary vmlinux for kallsyms step 2
    NM      .tmp_vmlinux2.syms
    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux2.kallsyms.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux2.kallsyms.o
    LD      vmlinux                      # final vmlinux
