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.

+	help
+	  KFENCE is a low-overhead sampling-based detector of heap out-of-bounds
+	  access, use-after-free, and invalid-free errors. KFENCE is designed
+	  to have negligible cost to permit enabling it in production
+	  environments.
+
+	  See <file:Documentation/dev-tools/kfence.rst> for more details.
+
+	  Note that, KFENCE is not a substitute for explicit testing with tools
+	  such as KASAN. KFENCE can detect a subset of bugs that KASAN can
+	  detect, albeit at very different performance profiles. If you can
+	  afford to use KASAN, continue using KASAN, for example in test
+	  environments. If your kernel targets production use, and cannot
+	  enable KASAN due to its cost, consider using KFENCE.

+config KFENCE_SAMPLE_INTERVAL
+	int "Default sample interval in milliseconds"

+	help
+	  The KFENCE sample interval determines the frequency with which heap
+	  allocations will be guarded by KFENCE. May be overridden via boot
+	  parameter "kfence.sample_interval".
+
+	  Set this to 0 to disable KFENCE by default, in which case only
+	  setting "kfence.sample_interval" to a non-zero value enables KFENCE.

+config KFENCE_NUM_OBJECTS

+	  The number of guarded objects available. For each KFENCE object, 2
+	  pages are required; with one containing the object and two adjacent
+	  ones used as guard pages.
+
+config KFENCE_DEFERRABLE
+	bool "Use a deferrable timer to trigger allocations"
+	help
+	  Use a deferrable timer to trigger allocations. This avoids forcing
+	  CPU wake-ups if the system is idle, at the risk of a less predictable
+	  sample interval.
+
+	  Warning: The KUnit test suite fails with this option enabled - due to
+	  the unpredictability of the sample interval!
+
+	  Say N if you are unsure.

+config KFENCE_STATIC_KEYS

+	depends on JUMP_LABEL
+	help
+	  Use static keys (static branches) to set up KFENCE allocations. This
+	  option is only recommended when using very large sample intervals, or
+	  performance has carefully been evaluated with this option.
+
+	  Using static keys comes with trade-offs that need to be carefully
+	  evaluated given target workloads and system architectures. Notably,
+	  enabling and disabling static keys invoke IPI broadcasts, the latency
+	  and impact of which is much harder to predict than a dynamic branch.
+
+	  Say N if you are unsure.

+	  The inverse probability with which to randomly protect KFENCE object
+	  pages, resulting in spurious use-after-frees. The main purpose of
+	  this option is to stress test KFENCE with concurrent error reports
+	  and allocations/frees. A value of 0 disables stress testing logic.
+
+	  Only for KFENCE testing; set to 0 if you are not a KFENCE developer.

+	  Test suite for KFENCE, testing various error detection scenarios with
+	  various allocation types, and checking that reports are correctly
+	  output to console.
+
+	  Say Y here if you want the test to be built into the kernel and run
+	  during boot; say M if you want the test to build as a module; say N
+	  if you are unsure.
