selftests/x86: fix Makefile dependencies to work with clang
When building with clang, via: make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests ...the following build failure occurs in selftests/x86: clang: error: cannot specify -o when generating multiple output files This happens because, although gcc doesn't complain if you invoke it like this: gcc file1.c header2.h ...clang won't accept that form--it rejects the .h file(s). Also, the above approach is inaccurate anyway, because file.c includes header2.h in this case, and the inclusion of header2.h on the invocation is an artifact of the Makefile's desire to maintain dependencies. In Makefiles of this type, a better way to do it is to use Makefile dependencies to trigger the appropriate incremental rebuilds, and separately use file lists (see EXTRA_FILES in this commit) to track what to pass to the compiler. This commit splits those concepts up, by setting up both EXTRA_FILES and the Makefile dependencies with a single call to the new Makefile function extra-files. That fixes the build failure, while still providing the correct dependencies in all cases.
