kbuild: implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS without recursion

When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, Kbuild recursively traverses
the directory tree to determine which EXPORT_SYMBOL to trim. If an
EXPORT_SYMBOL turns out to be unused by anyone, Kbuild begins the
second traverse, where some source files are recompiled with their
EXPORT_SYMBOL() tuned into a no-op.

Linus stated negative opinions about this slowness in commits:

- 5cf0fd591f2e ("Kbuild: disable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option")
- a555bdd0c58c ("Kbuild: enable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS again, with some guarding")

We can do this better now. The final data structures of EXPORT_SYMBOL
are generated by the modpost stage, so modpost can selectively emit
KSYMTAB entries that are really used by modules.

Commit f73edc8951b2 ("kbuild: unify two modpost invocations") is another
ground-work to do this in a one-pass algorithm. With the list of modules,
modpost sets sym->used if it is used by a module. modpost emits KSYMTAB
only for symbols with sym->used==true.

BTW, Nicolas explained why the trimming was implemented with recursion:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/2o2rpn97-79nq-p7s2-nq5-8p83391473r@syhkavp.arg/

Actually, we never achieved that level of optimization where the chain
reaction of trimming comes into play because:

- CONFIG_LTO_CLANG cannot remove any unused symbols
- CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is enabled only for vmlinux,
but not modules

If deeper trimming is required, we need to revisit this, but I guess
that is unlikely to happen.

kbuild: do not put .scmversion into the source tarball

.scmversion is used by (src)rpm-pkg and deb-pkg to carry KERNELRELEASE.

In fact, deb-pkg does not rely on it any more because the generated
debian/rules specifies KERNELRELEASE from the command line.

Do likwise for (src)rpm-pkg, and remove this feature.
For the same reason, you do not need to save LOCALVERSION in the
spec file.

kbuild: add a script to remove stale generated files

We maintain .gitignore and Makefiles so build artifacts are properly
ignored by Git, and cleaned up by 'make clean'. However, the code is
always changing; generated files are often moved to another directory,
or removed when they become unnecessary. Such garbage files tend to be
left over in the source tree because people usually git-pull without
cleaning the tree.

This is not only the noise for 'git status', but also a build issue
in some cases.

One solution is to remove a stale file like commit 223c24a7dba9 ("kbuild:
Automatically remove stale <linux/version.h> file") did. Such workaround
should be removed after a while, but we forget about that if we scatter
the workaround code in random places.

So, this commit adds a new script to collect cleanings of stale files.

As a start point, move the code in arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile
into this script.
