Subject: [PATCH 2/2] kbuild: remove libelf checks from top Makefile

I do not see a good reason why only the libelf development package must
be so carefully checked.

Kbuild generally does not check host tools or libraries.

For example, x86_64 defconfig fails to build with no libssl development
package installed.

scripts/extract-cert.c:21:10: fatal error: openssl/bio.h: No such file or directory
   21 | #include <openssl/bio.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To solve the build error, you need to install libssl-dev or openssl-devel
package, depending on your distribution.

'apt-file search', 'dnf provides', etc. is your frined to find a proper
package to install.

This commit removes all the libelf checks from the top Makefile.

If libelf is missing, objtool will fail to build in a similar pattern:

.../linux/tools/objtool/include/objtool/elf.h:10:10: fatal error: gelf.h: No such file or directory
   10 | #include <gelf.h>

You need to install libelf-dev, libelf-devel, or elfutils-libelf-devel
to proceed.

Another remarkable change is, CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION (without
CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC) previously continued to build with a warning,
but now it will treat missing libelf as an error.

This is just a one-time installation, so it should not matter to break
a build and make a user install the package.

BTW, the traditional way to handle such checks is autotool, but according
to [1], I do not expect the kernel build would have similar scripting
like './configure' does.
