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.
