kbuild: list sub-directories in ./Kbuild

Use the ordinary obj-y syntax to list subdirectories.

Note1:
Previously, the link order of lib-y depended on CONFIG_MODULES; lib-y
was linked before drivers-y when CONFIG_MODULES=y, otherwise after
drivers-y. This was a bug of commit 7273ad2b08 ("kbuild: link lib-y
objects to vmlinux forcibly when CONFIG_MODULES=y"), but it was not a
big deal after all. Now, all objects listed in lib-y are linked last,
irrespective of CONFIG_MODULES.

Note2:
Finally, the single target build in arch/*/lib/ works correctly. There was
a bug report about this. [1]

  $ make ARCH=arm arch/arm/lib/findbit.o
    CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
    AS      arch/arm/lib/findbit.o
