[PATCH v6 kspp-next 03/22] kbuild: do not remove 'linux' link in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh

From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

arch/um/Makefile passes the -f option to the ln command:

linux: vmlinux
@echo ' LINK $@'
$(Q)ln -f $< $@

So, the hard link is always re-created, and the old one is removed
anyway.
