riscv: Only allow LTO with CMODEL_MEDANY

commit 41f9049cff324b7033e6ed1ded7dfff803cf550a upstream.

When building with CONFIG_CMODEL_MEDLOW and CONFIG_LTO_CLANG, there is a
series of errors due to some files being unconditionally compiled with
'-mcmodel=medany', mismatching with the rest of the kernel built with
'-mcmodel=medlow':

  ld.lld: error: Function Import: link error: linking module flags 'Code Model': IDs have conflicting values: 'i32 3' from vmlinux.a(init.o at 899908), and 'i32 1' from vmlinux.a(net-traces.o at 1014628)

Only allow LTO to be performed when CONFIG_CMODEL_MEDANY is enabled to
ensure there will be no code model mismatch errors. An alternative
solution would be disabling LTO for the files with a different code
model than the main kernel like some specialized areas of the kernel do
but doing that for individual files is not as sustainable than
forbidding the combination altogether.
