Masahiro Yamada faa7bdd7e9 kbuild: fix the document to use extra-y for vmlinux.lds
The difference between "always" and "extra-y" is that the targets
listed in $(always) are always built, whereas the ones in $(extra-y)
are built only when KBUILD_BUILTIN is set.

So, "make modules" does not build the targets in $(extra-y).

vmlinux.lds is only needed for linking vmlinux. So, adding it to extra-y
is more correct. In fact, arch/x86/kernel/Makefile does this.

Fix the example code.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
