If CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled and the kernel is built from
a pristine state, the vmlinux is linked twice.

Commit 3fdc7d3fe4c0 ("kbuild: link vmlinux only once for
CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS") explains why this happens, but it did not fix
the issue at all.

Now I realized I had applied a wrong patch.

In v1 patch [1], the autoksyms_recursive target correctly recurses to
"$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile autoksyms_recursive".

In v2 patch [2], I accidentally dropped the diff line, and it recurses to
"$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile vmlinux".

Restore the code I intended in v1.

Thanks for looking into this, Masahiro! I can confirm that this patch
fixes the issue with vmlinux getting linked twice in our use case.
