kbuild: rust: keep Rust objects out of Clang LTO with inline helpersgrafted

Under `CONFIG_LTO_CLANG` + `CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS`, one may hit
`objtool` errors such as:

    vmlinux.o: error: objtool: _R..._3Gsp4boot+0xd6a:
    can't find jump dest instruction at .text._R..._3Gsp4boot+0x1dfd

The reason is that in such builds, the Clang invocation that compiles
the combined Rust plus helpers bitcode emits LLVM bitcode (again) --
the final code generation happens in the linker's LTO step, which the
`-mllvm` trap options passed to Clang do not reach.

This, in turn, means that unreachable traps are missing, and the
impossible paths do not merely fallthrough to the next symbol, but past
the end of their own section, since LTO builds place each function in
its own section.

Thus filter `CC_FLAGS_LTO` out of the Clang invocation, so that it always
emits machine code directly, with the traps in place.

+=============================================
+Working with the kernel development community
+=============================================
+
+So you want to be a Linux kernel developer?  Welcome!  While there is a lot
+to be learned about the kernel in a technical sense, it is also important
+to learn about how our community works.  Reading these documents will make
+it much easier for you to get your changes merged with a minimum of
+trouble.
+
+An introduction to how kernel development works
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+Read these documents first: an understanding of the material here will ease
+your entry into the kernel community.

+
+Tools and technical guides for kernel developers
+------------------------------------------------
+
+This is a collection of material that kernel developers should be familiar
+with.

+
+Policy guides and developer statements
+--------------------------------------
+
+These are the rules that we try to live by in the kernel community (and
+beyond).

+Dealing with bugs
+-----------------
+
+Bugs are a fact of life; it is important that we handle them properly. The
+documents below provide general advice about debugging and describe our
+policies around the handling of a couple of special classes of bugs:
+regressions and security problems.
