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.

+==================================
+Tracefs ring-buffer memory mapping
+==================================
+
+:Author: Vincent Donnefort <vdonnefort@google.com>
+
+Overview
+========
+Tracefs ring-buffer memory map provides an efficient method to stream data
+as no memory copy is necessary. The application mapping the ring-buffer becomes
+then a consumer for that ring-buffer, in a similar fashion to trace_pipe.
+
+Memory mapping setup
+====================
+The mapping works with a mmap() of the trace_pipe_raw interface.
+
+The first system page of the mapping contains ring-buffer statistics and
+description. It is referred to as the meta-page. One of the most important
+fields of the meta-page is the reader. It contains the sub-buffer ID which can
+be safely read by the mapper (see ring-buffer-design.rst).
+
+The meta-page is followed by all the sub-buffers, ordered by ascending ID. It is
+therefore effortless to know where the reader starts in the mapping:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+        reader_id = meta->reader->id;
+        reader_offset = meta->meta_page_size + reader_id * meta->subbuf_size;
+
+When the application is done with the current reader, it can get a new one using
+the trace_pipe_raw ioctl() TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_GET_READER. This ioctl also updates
+the meta-page fields.
+
+Limitations
+===========
+When a mapping is in place on a Tracefs ring-buffer, it is not possible to
+either resize it (either by increasing the entire size of the ring-buffer or
+each subbuf). It is also not possible to use snapshot and causes splice to copy
+the ring buffer data instead of using the copyless swap from the ring buffer.
+
+Concurrent readers (either another application mapping that ring-buffer or the
+kernel with trace_pipe) are allowed but not recommended. They will compete for
+the ring-buffer and the output is unpredictable, just like concurrent readers on
+trace_pipe would be.
+
+Example
+=======
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+        #include <fcntl.h>
+        #include <stdio.h>

+
+                map = mmap(NULL, page_size, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);

+                data = mmap(NULL, data_len, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, meta_len);
+                if (data == MAP_FAILED)
+                        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
+
+                if (ioctl(fd, TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_GET_READER) < 0)
+                        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
+
+                reader_id = meta->reader.id;
+                reader = data + meta->subbuf_size * reader_id;
+
+                printf("Current reader address: %p\n", reader);
+
+                munmap(data, data_len);
+                munmap(meta, meta_len);
