Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: readd -w option when vmlinux.o or Module.symver is missing

Commit 63ffe00d8c93 ("kbuild: Fix running modpost with musl libc")
accidentally turned the unresolved symbol warnings into errors when
vmlinux.o (for in-tree builds) or Module.symver (for external module
builds) is missing.

In those cases, unresolved symbols are expected, but the -w option
is not set because 'missing-input' is referenced before set.

Move $(missing-input back to the original place. This should be fine
for musl libc because vmlinux.o and -w are not added at the same time.

With this change, -w may be passed twice, but it is not a big deal.
