Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: use -flive-patching when CONFIG_LIVEPATCH is enabled

GCC 9 introduces a new option, -flive-patching. It disables certain
optimizations which could make a compilation unsafe for later live
patching of the running kernel.

The option is used only if CONFIG_LIVEPATCH is enabled and $(CC)
supports it.
