dimlib: use *-y instead of *-objs in Makefile

*-objs suffix is reserved rather for (user-space) host programs while
usually *-y suffix is used for kernel drivers (although *-objs works for
that purpose for now).

Let's correct the old usages of *-objs in Makefiles.

lib: Allow for the DIM library to be modular

Allow the Dynamic Interrupt Moderation (DIM) library to be built as a
module. This is particularly useful in an Android GKI (Google Kernel
Image) configuration where everything is built as a module, including
Ethernet controller drivers. Having to build DIMLIB into the kernel
image with potentially no user is wasteful.

ccflags-remove-$(CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER) += $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)

exists here in sub-directories of lib/ to keep the behavior of
commit 2464a609ded0 ("ftrace: do not trace library functions").

Since that commit, not only the objects in lib/ but also the ones in
the sub-directories are excluded from ftrace (although the commit
description did not explicitly mention this).

However, most of library functions in sub-directories are not so hot.
Re-add them to ftrace.

Going forward, only the objects right under lib/ will be excluded.

kbuild: introduce ccflags-remove-y and asflags-remove-y

CFLAGS_REMOVE_<file>.o filters out flags when compiling a particular
object, but there is no convenient way to do that for every object in
a directory.

Add ccflags-remove-y and asflags-remove-y to make it easily.

Use ccflags-remove-y to clean up some Makefiles.

The add/remove order works as follows:

[1] KBUILD_CFLAGS specifies compiler flags used globally

[2] ccflags-y adds compiler flags for all objects in the
current Makefile

[3] ccflags-remove-y removes compiler flags for all objects in the
current Makefile (New feature)

[4] CFLAGS_<file> adds compiler flags per file.

[5] CFLAGS_REMOVE_<file> removes compiler flags per file.

Having [3] before [4] allows us to remove flags from most (but not all)
objects in the current Makefile.

For example, kernel/trace/Makefile removes $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)
from all objects in the directory, then adds it back to
trace_selftest_dynamic.o and CFLAGS_trace_kprobe_selftest.o

The same applies to lib/livepatch/Makefile.

Please note ccflags-remove-y has no effect to the sub-directories.
In contrast, the previous notation got rid of compiler flags also from
all the sub-directories.

The following are not affected because they have no sub-directories:

arch/arm/boot/compressed/
arch/powerpc/xmon/
arch/sh/
kernel/trace/

However, lib/ has several sub-directories.

To keep the behavior, I added ccflags-remove-y to all Makefiles
in subdirectories of lib/, except the following:

lib/vdso/Makefile - Kbuild does not descend into this Makefile
lib/raid/test/Makefile - This is not used for the kernel build

I think commit 2464a609ded0 ("ftrace: do not trace library functions")
excluded too much. In the next commit, I will remove ccflags-remove-y
from the sub-directories of lib/.

linux/dim: Implement RDMA adaptive moderation (DIM)

RDMA DIM implements a different algorithm from net DIM and is based on
completions which is how we can implement interrupt moderation in RDMA.

The algorithm optimizes for number of completions and ratio between
completions and events. In order to avoid long latencies, the
implementation performs fast reduction of moderation level when the
traffic changes.
