<title>get_maintainer: Don't check if STDIN exists in a VCS repository</title>

If get_maintainer is not given any filename arguments on the command line,
the standard input is read for a patch.

But checking if a VCS has a file named &amp;STDIN is not a good idea and fails.

Verify the nominal input file is not &amp;STDIN before checking the VCS.

There's no reason to repeat the same names in the Makefile when the .so
files have already been listed. The .o list can be generated from them.

When the compiler doesn't support gcc plugins (either due to missing
headers or too old a version), report the problem and abort the build
instead of emitting a warning and letting the build founder with arcane
compiler errors.

The gcc-plugins arguments should not be included when performing
cc-option tests.

Steps to reproduce:
1) make mrproper
2) make defconfig
3) enable GCC_PLUGINS, GCC_PLUGIN_CYC_COMPLEXITY
4) enable FUNCTION_TRACER (it will select other options as well)
5) make &amp;&amp; make modules

For more targeted fuzzing, it's better to disable kernel-wide
instrumentation and instead enable it on a per-subsystem basis.  This
follows the pattern of UBSAN and allows you to compile in the kcov
driver without instrumenting the whole kernel.

To instrument a part of the kernel, you can use either

    # for a single file in the current directory
    KCOV_INSTRUMENT_filename.o := y

or

    # for all the files in the current directory (excluding subdirectories)
    KCOV_INSTRUMENT := y

or

    # (same as above)
    ccflags-y += $(CFLAGS_KCOV)

or

    # for all the files in the current directory (including subdirectories)
    subdir-ccflags-y += $(CFLAGS_KCOV)
