kbuild: fix false positive warning/error about missing libelf

masahir0y · masahir0y · commit ef7cfd00b2ca · 2018-12-20T00:04:15.000+09:00
For the same reason as commit 25896d0 ("x86/build: Fix compiler support check for CONFIG_RETPOLINE"), you cannot put this $(error ...) into the parse stage of the top Makefile. Perhaps I'd propose a more sophisticated solution later, but this is the best I can do for now.
