Subject: [PATCH 3/4] kbuild: use $(obj)/ instead of $(src)/ for pattern rules for %.[cS]

Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
in scripts/Makefile.build:

  src := $(obj)

Before changing the semantics of $(src) in the next commit, this commit
replaces $(obj)/ with $(src)/ in pattern rules where the prerequisite
might be a generated file.

C and assembly files are sometimes generated by tools, so they could
be either generated files or real sources. The $(obj)/ prefix works
for both cases with the help of VPATH.

As mentioned above, $(obj) and $(src) are the same at this point, hence
this commit has no functional change.

I did not modify scripts/Makefile.userprogs because there is no use
case where userspace C files are generated.
