In some modes of operation, Kbuild allows to build modules without having
vmlinux image around. In such case, generation of module BTF is impossible.
This patch changes the behavior to emit a warning about impossibility of
generating kernel module BTF, instead of breaking the build. This is especially
important for out-of-tree external module builds.

In vmlinux-less mode:

$ make clean
$ make modules_prepare
$ touch drivers/acpi/button.c
$ make M=drivers/acpi
...
  CC [M]  drivers/acpi/button.o
  MODPOST drivers/acpi/Module.symvers
  LD [M]  drivers/acpi/button.ko
  BTF [M] drivers/acpi/button.ko
Skipping BTF generation for drivers/acpi/button.ko due to unavailability of vmlinux
...
$ readelf -S ~/linux-build/default/drivers/acpi/button.ko | grep BTF -A1
... empty ...

Now with normal build:

$ make all
...
LD [M]  drivers/acpi/button.ko
BTF [M] drivers/acpi/button.ko
...
$ readelf -S ~/linux-build/default/drivers/acpi/button.ko | grep BTF -A1
  [60] .BTF              PROGBITS         0000000000000000  00029310
       000000000000ab3f  0000000000000000           0     0     1
