kbuild: fix modules.builtin(.modinfo) targets in the top-level Makefile

Commit 7a342e6c77 ("kbuild: move modules.builtin(.modinfo) rules to
Makefile.vmlinux_o") moved the modules.builtin(.modinfo) rules from
link-vmlinux.sh to Makefile.vmlinux_o, and added the corresponding
targets to the top-level Makefile.

Commit 39cfd5b121 ("kbuild: extract modules.builtin.modinfo from
vmlinux.unstripped") later moved these rules from Makefile.vmlinux_o to
Makefile.vmlinux, but left the corresponding targets in the top-level
Makefile unchanged.

These modules.builtin(.modinfo) targets in the top-level Makefile should
be moved alongside the vmlinux target, since they are now generated by
Makefile.vmlinux.

However, simply removing these trivial targets might be a better choice,
as it makes the Makefile cleaner and avoids the need to keep them in sync
across multiple files, reducing the chance of future mistakes.
