<title>kbuild: Delete .builtin-dtbs.S when running make clean</title>

<content type='text'>
commit a76e30c2479ce6ffa2aa6c8a8462897afc82bc90 upstream.

The makefile tries to delete a file named ".builtin-dtb.S" but the file
created by scripts/Makefile.vmlinux is actually called ".builtin-dtbs.S".

Fixes: 654102df2ac2a ("kbuild: add generic support for built-in boot DTBs")

[ Upstream commit fdb12c8a24a453bdd6759979b6ef1e04ebd4beb4 ]

The difference between 'make clean' and 'make mrproper' is documented in
'make help' as:

  clean     - Remove most generated files but keep the config and
              enough build support to build external modules
  mrproper  - Remove all generated files + config + various backup files

After commit 68b4fe32d737 ("kbuild: Add objtool to top-level clean
target"), running 'make clean' then attempting to build an external
module with the resulting build directory fails with

  $ make ARCH=x86_64 O=build clean

  $ make -C build M=... MO=...
  ...
  /bin/sh: line 1: .../build/tools/objtool/objtool: No such file or directory

as 'make clean' removes the objtool binary.

Split the objtool clean target into mrproper and clean like Kbuild does
and remove all generated artifacts with 'make clean' except for the
objtool binary, which is removed with 'make mrproper'. To avoid a small
race when running the objtool clean target through both objtool_mrproper
and objtool_clean when running 'make mrproper', modify objtool's clean
up find command to avoid using find's '-delete' command by piping the
files into 'xargs rm -f' like the rest of Kbuild does.
