objtool: Fix Makefile to properly see if libelf is supported
When doing a make allmodconfig, I hit the following compile error:
In file included from builtin-check.c:32:0:
elf.h:22:18: fatal error: gelf.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
...
Digging into it, it appears that the $(shell ..) command in the Makefile does
not give the proper result when it fails to find -lelf, and continues to
compile objtool.
Instead, use the "try-run" makefile macro to perform the test. This gives a
proper result for both cases.
