Subject: [PATCH] rust: Disallow BTF generation with Rust + LTO

The kernel cannot currently self-parse BTF containing Rust debug
information. pahole uses the language of the CU to determine whether to
filter out debug information when generating the BTF. When LTO is
enabled, Rust code can cross CU boundaries, resulting in Rust debug
information in CUs labeled as C. This results in a system which cannot
parse its own BTF.
