Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Kbuild: lto: add make version checking

LTO with MODVERSION will fail in generating correct CRC because
the makefile rule doesn't work for make with version 3.8X.[1]

Thus we need to check make version during selecting on LTO Kconfig.
and the suitable version should be 4.2(40200) which release in 2016[2].
