This is needed because clang doesn't select which linker to use based on
$LD but rather -fuse-ld={bfd,gold,lld,<absolute path to linker>}.  This
is problematic especially for cc-ldoption, which checks for linker flag
support via invoking the compiler, rather than the linker.

Select the linker via absolute path from $PATH via `which`. This allows
you to build with:

$ make LD=ld.lld
$ make LD=ld.lld-8
$ make LD=/path/to/ld.lld

Add -Qunused-arguments to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS sooner, as otherwise
Clang likes to complain about -fuse-lld= being unused when compiling but
not linking (-c) such as when cc-option is used. There's no need to
guard with cc-option.

Changes V3->V4:
* Unconditionally add -Qunused-arguments sooners, as per Nathan.
* Slight modification to commit message for that point.
Changes V2->V3:
* Use absolute path based on `which $LD` as per Masahiro.
* Add -Qunused-arguments.
* Drop tested-by/reviewed-by tags, since this patched has changed enough
  to warrant re-testing/re-review, IMO.
* Add more info to the commit message.
Changes V1->V2:
* add reviewed and tested by tags.
* move this addition up 2 statments so that it's properly added to
  KBUILD_*FLAGS as per Nathan.
