efi/libstub: Avoid linking libstub/lib-ksyms.o into vmlinux
drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile builds a static library, which is not linked into the main vmlinux target in the ordinary way [arm64], or at all [ARM, x86]. Since commit: 7f2084fa55e6 ("[kbuild] handle exports in lib-y objects reliably") any Makefile using lib-y generates lib-ksyms.o which is linked into vmlinux. In this case, the following garbage object is linked into vmlinux. drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib-ksyms.o We do not want to follow the default linking rules for static libraries built under libstub/ so using subdir-y instead of obj-y is the correct way to descend into this directory.
