Revert "kbuild: make all file references relative to source root"

This reverts commit cacd22c.

-ffile-prefix-map breaks the ability of debuggers to find the source
file corresponding to object files. As there is no simple or uniform
way to specify the source directory explicitly, this breaks developers
workflows.

Revert the unconditional usage of -ffile-prefix-map.

+Absolute filenames
+------------------
+
+When the kernel is built out-of-tree, debug information may include
+absolute filenames for the source files.  This must be overridden by
+including the ``-fdebug-prefix-map`` option in the `KCFLAGS`_ variable.
+
+Depending on the compiler used, the ``__FILE__`` macro may also expand
+to an absolute filename in an out-of-tree build.  Kbuild automatically
+uses the ``-fmacro-prefix-map`` option to prevent this, if it is
+supported.
+
+The Reproducible Builds web site has more information about these
+`prefix-map options`_.
