[RFC PATCH] lib: move memcat_p.o to obj-y

[Ilie Halip <ilie.halip@gmail.com>]

The semantics of `--undefined` differ between ld.bfd and ld.lld:
    $ echo | gcc -x c -c - -o a.o
    $ echo "EXTERN(test)" > a.lds
    $ ld.bfd a.o -t a.lds -o - 2>/dev/null && objdump -t | grep test
    0000000000000000         *UND*      0000000000000000 test
    $ ld.lld a.o -t a.lds -o - 2>/dev/null && objdump -t | grep test
    $

When building with CONFIG_STM=m, there are no in-kernel users of memcat_p()
and ld.lld discards this symbol because it's linked in via --no-whole-archive.
It's marked as undefined by a linker script but ld.lld discards it anyway (as
seen in the above snippet).

Work around the ld.lld behavior by moving the object file to obj-y.
