kbuild: unify two modpost invocations

Currently, modpost is executed twice; first for vmlinux, second
for modules.

This commit merges them.

Current build flow
==================

  1) build obj-y and obj-m objects
    2) link vmlinux.o
      3) modpost for vmlinux
        4) link vmlinux
          5) modpost for modules
            6) link modules (*.ko)

The build steps 1) through 6) are serialized, that is, modules are
built after vmlinux. You do not get benefits of parallel builds when
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh is being run.

New build flow
==============

  1) build obj-y and obj-m objects
    2) link vmlinux.o
      3) modpost for vmlinux and modules
        4a) link vmlinux
        4b) link modules (*.ko)

In the new build flow, modpost is invoked just once.

vmlinux and modules are built in parallel. One exception is
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES=y, where modules depend on vmlinux.
