drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile is supposed to create a static
library, which is not directly linked to vmlinux.
Since commit 7f2084fa55e6 ("[kbuild] handle exports in lib-y objects
reliably"), any Makefile using lib-y generates lib-ksyms.o which is
linked into vmlinux.
In this case, the following garbage object is linked into vmlinux.
drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib-ksyms.o
We do not want to link anything from libstub/ directly to vmlinux,
so using subdir-y instead of obj-y is the correct way to descend into
this directory.
