[PATCH 01/12] [kbuild] handle exports in lib-y objects reliably

[Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk>]

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Collect the symbols exported by anything that goes into lib.a and
add an empty object (lib-exports.o) with explicit undefs for each
of those to obj-y.

That allows to relax the rules regarding the use of exports in
lib-* objects - right now an object with export can be in lib-*
only if we are guaranteed that there always will be users in
built-in parts of the tree, otherwise it needs to be in obj-*.
As the result, we have an unholy mix of lib- and obj- in lib/Makefile
and (especially) in arch/*/lib/Makefile.  Moreover, a change in
generic part of the kernel can lead to mysteriously missing exports
on some configs.  With this change we don't have to worry about
that anymore.
