[PATCH] kheaders: Follow symlinks to source files.

From: Yifan Hong
Date: Tue Apr 18 2023 - 20:32:35 EST


When the kernel is built inside a sandbox container,
a forest of symlinks to the source files may be
created in the container. In this case, the generated
kheaders.tar.xz should follow these symlinks
to access the source files, instead of packing
the symlinks themselves.
