Masahiro Yamada c442db3f49 kbuild: remove PROVIDE() for kallsyms symbols
This reimplements commit 951bcae6c5a0 ("kallsyms: Avoid weak references
for kallsyms symbols") because I am not a big fan of PROVIDE().

As an alternative solution, this commit prepends one more kallsyms step.

    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.S          # added
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.o          # added
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux.btf
    BTF     .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1
    NM      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.syms
    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.o
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2
    NM      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.syms
    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.o
    LD      vmlinux

Step 0 takes /dev/null as input, and generates .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.o,
which has a valid kallsyms format with the empty symbol list, and can be
linked to vmlinux. Since it is really small, the added compile-time cost
is negligible.
