[PATCH 6.6] kbuild: userprogs: use correct linker when mixing clang and GNU ld

[Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>]

From: Thomas Weißschuh <thomas.weissschuh@linutronix.de>

commit 936599ca514973d44a766b7376c6bbdc96b6a8cc upstream.

The userprogs infrastructure does not expect clang being used with GNU ld
and in that case uses /usr/bin/ld for linking, not the configured $(LD).
This fallback is problematic as it will break when cross-compiling.
Mixing clang and GNU ld is used for example when building for SPARC64,
as ld.lld is not sufficient; see Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst.

Relax the check around --ld-path so it gets used for all linkers.
