[PATCH] kbuild: install-extmod-build: Package resolve_btfids if necessary

[Thomas Weißschuh]

When CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES is enabled and vmlinux is available,
Makefilefile.modfinal and gen-btf.sh will try to use resolve_btfids
on the module .ko. install-extmod-build currently does not package
resolve_btfids, so that step fails.

Also package resolve_btfids if it may get used.

Heh, ironic that I was just looking in that area yesterday and I had
thought that this would be necessary if vmlinux is available but then
never followed up... Thanks for this.

Nicolas, can I take this as a fix?

Please look out for regression or issue reports or other follow up
comments, as they may result in the patch/series getting dropped or
reverted. Patches applied to an "unstable" branch are accepted pending
wider testing in -next and any post-commit review; they will generally
be moved to the main branch in a week if no issues are found.
