FROMLIST: BACKPORT: Makefile: lld: tell clang to use lld

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 when using LLD, as otherwise
Clang likes to complain about -fuse-lld= being unused when compiling but
not linking (-c) such as when cc-option is used.
