x86/boot: Fix if_changed build flip/flop bug
Dirk Gouders reported that two consecutive "make" invocations on an
already compiled tree will show alternating behaviors:
$ make
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh
DESCEND objtool
CHK include/generated/compile.h
DATAREL arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux
Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#48)
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 165 modules
$ make
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh
DESCEND objtool
CHK include/generated/compile.h
LD arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux
ZOFFSET arch/x86/boot/zoffset.h
AS arch/x86/boot/header.o
LD arch/x86/boot/setup.elf
OBJCOPY arch/x86/boot/setup.bin
OBJCOPY arch/x86/boot/vmlinux.bin
BUILD arch/x86/boot/bzImage
Setup is 15644 bytes (padded to 15872 bytes).
System is 6663 kB
CRC 3eb90f40
Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#48)

He bisected it back to:
commit 98f78525371b ("x86/boot: Refuse to build with data relocations")
The root cause was the use of the "if_changed" kbuild function multiple
times for the same target. It was designed to only be used once per
target, otherwise it will effectively always trigger, flipping back and
forth between the two commands getting recorded by "if_changed". Instead,
this patch merges the two commands into a single function to get stable
build artifacts (i.e. .vmlinux.cmd), and a single build behavior.
