[PATCH v2 11/58] objtool: Forward toolchain variables to the klp test runner

[Song Liu <song@kernel.org>]

From: Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@redhat.com>

The tests target already passes ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE into
run-tests.sh.  lib.sh uses those to pick a default compiler and
binutils:

  CC=${CC:-${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc}
  LD=${LD:-${CROSS_COMPILE}ld}
  READELF=${READELF:-${CROSS_COMPILE}readelf}
  OBJCOPY=${OBJCOPY:-${CROSS_COMPILE}objcopy}

Those defaults only apply when the variables reach the shell that sources
lib.sh.  The recipe passed OBJTOOL, ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE explicitly, but
not CC or the binutils.  Makefile-assigned values (e.g. from LLVM=1) are
not visible in the recipe environment unless forwarded:

  $ LLVM=1 make -C tools/objtool tests
  ...
  # preflight
  #   compiler  gcc (GCC) ...

Pass CC, LD, READELF and OBJCOPY the same way as ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE,
so fixtures are built and inspected with the toolchain make selected:

  $ LLVM=1 make -C tools/objtool tests
  ...
  # preflight
  #   compiler  clang version 21.1.8 ...
