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.

+Note on Compatibility
+=====================
+
+Note that the Live Update feature is still under development and subject to
+change, so compatibility is not guaranteed when kexec rebooting between
+different kernel versions. This is expected to change and stabilize in a future
+version.
+
+Userspace Integration
+=====================
+
+systemd (since version v261) uses LUO to preserve its per-service file
+descriptor store across a kexec-based live update. Services opt in by setting
+``FileDescriptorStoreMax=`` and ``FileDescriptorStorePreserve=`` in their unit,
+and push file descriptors with a name into the store via
+``sd_pid_notify_with_fds(... "FDSTORE=1\nFDNAME=foo")``.
+
+Services may also create their own LUO sessions (via ``/dev/liveupdate``) and
+push the resulting session fds into their file descriptor store like any other
+fd. systemd detects such session fds and handles them accordingly, and
+hands the re-retrieved session fd back to the service after kexec, using the
+existing file descriptor store service interface.
