Sean Christopherson 44b81136e8 kbuild: lto: Merge module sections if and only if CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is enabled
commit 6a3193cdd5 upstream.

Merge module sections only when using Clang LTO. With ld.bfd, merging
sections does not appear to update the symbol tables for the module,
e.g. 'readelf -s' shows the value that a symbol would have had, if
sections were not merged. ld.lld does not show this problem.

The stale symbol table breaks gdb's function disassembler, and presumably
other things, e.g.

  gdb -batch -ex "file arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko" -ex "disassemble kvm_init"

reads the wrong bytes and dumps garbage.
