QEMU binaries no longer launch successfully with recent SystemTap
releases. This is because modular QEMU builds link the sdt semaphores
into the main binary instead of into the shared objects where they are
used. The symbol visibility of semaphores is 'hidden' and the dynamic
linker prints an error during module loading:

  $ ./configure --enable-trace-backends=dtrace --enable-modules ...
  ...
  Failed to open module: /builddir/build/BUILD/qemu-4.2.0/s390x-softmmu/../block-curl.so: undefined symbol: qemu_curl_close_semaphore

The long-term solution is to generate per-module dtrace .o files and
link them into the module instead of the main binary.

In the short term we can define STAP_SDT_V2 so dtrace(1) produces a .o
file with 'default' symbol visibility instead of 'hidden'. This
workaround is small and easier to merge for QEMU 5.2 and downstream
backports.

  Downstream uses makefiles, so move the dtrace invocation changes to
  rules.mak and Makefile.
