[PATCH] x86_64: Do not use -ffunction-sections for modules
Currently CONFIG_REORDER uses -ffunction-sections for all code; however, creating a separate section for each function is not useful for modules and just adds bloat. Moving this option from CFLAGS to CFLAGS_KERNEL shrinks module object files (e.g., the module tree for a kernel built with most drivers as modules shrinked from 54M to 46M), and decreases the number of sysfs files in /sys/module/*/sections/ directories.
