kbuild: improve linker compatibility with lib-ksyms.o build
lib-ksyms.o is created by linking an empty input file with a linker script containing the interesting bits. Currently the empty input file is an archive containing nothing, however this causes the gold linker to segfault. I have opened a bug against gold https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20767 However this can be worked around by assembling an empty file to link with instead. The resulting lib-ksyms.o is slightly larger (seemingly due to empty .text, .data, .bss setions added), but final linked output should not be changed.
