KUnit's 'hooks.o' file need to be built-in whenever KUnit is enabled
(even if CONFIG_KUNIT=m). We'd previously attemtped to do this by adding
'kunit/hooks.o' to obj-y in lib/Makefile, but this caused hooks.c to be
rebuilt even when it was unchanged.
Instead, always recurse into lib/kunit using obj-y when KUnit is
enabled, and add the hooks there.
Fixes: 7170b7ed6acb ("kunit: Add "hooks" to call into KUnit when it's built as a module").

I like this way of handling the makefiles much better. I had tried it
when originally writing the hooks patch and not managed to get it
working. Not sure what's changed now, but it works in all of the usual
cases (CONFIG_KUNIT={n,y,m}, kunit.py run, etc).
Linus, Shuah: Let me know if you want this to go via the KUnit branch,
or if you just want to apply it directly and get rid of the annoyances
ASAP.
