[PATCH v4 05/14] modpost: extract symbol versions from *.cmd files

Currently, CONFIG_MODVERSIONS needs extra link to embed the symbol
versions into ELF objects. Then, modpost extracts the version CRCs
from them.
The following figures show how it currently works, and how I am trying
to change it.
Current implementation
======================
|----------|
embed CRC -------------------------->| final |
$(CC) $(LD) / |---------| | link for |
-----> *.o -------> *.o -->| modpost | | vmlinux |
/ / | |-- *.mod.c -->| or |
/ genksyms / |---------| | module |
*.c ------> *.symversions |----------|
Genksyms outputs the calculated CRCs in the form of linker script
(*.symversions), which is used by $(LD) to update the object.
If CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, the build process is much more complex. Embedding
the CRCs is postponed until the LLVM bitcode is converted into ELF,
creating another intermediate *.prelink.o.
However, this complexity is unneeded. There is no reason why we must
embed version CRCs in objects so early.
There is final link stage for vmlinux (scripts/link-vmlinux.sh) and
modules (scripts/Makefile.modfinal). We can link CRCs at the very last
moment.
New implementation
==================
|----------|
--------------------------------------->| final |
$(CC) / |---------| | link for |
-----> *.o ---->| | | vmlinux |
/ | modpost |--- .vmlinux.export.c -->| or |
/ genksyms | |--- *.mod.c ------------>| module |
*.c ------> *.cmd -->|---------| |----------|
Pass the symbol versions to modpost as separate text data, which are
available in *.cmd files.
This commit changes modpost to extract CRCs from *.cmd files instead of
from ELF objects.
