Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: remove unneeded link_multi_deps

Since commit c8589d1e9e01 ("kbuild: handle multi-objs dependency
appropriately"), $^ really represents all the prerequisite of the
composite object being built.

Hence, $(filter-out FORCE,$^) contains all the objects to link
together, which is much simpler than link_multi_deps calculation.
