efi/libstub: Avoid linking libstub/lib-ksyms.o into vmlinux



drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile builds a static library, which
is not linked into the main vmlinux target in the ordinary way [arm64],
or at all [ARM, x86].

Since commit:

  7f2084fa ("[kbuild] handle exports in lib-y objects reliably")

any Makefile using lib-y generates lib-ksyms.o which is linked into vmlinux.

In this case, the following garbage object is linked into vmlinux.

  drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib-ksyms.o

We do not want to follow the default linking rules for static libraries
built under libstub/ so using subdir-y instead of obj-y is the correct
way to descend into this directory.
