[PATCH] x86/boot: Fix if_changed build flip/flop

From: Kees Cook
Date: Sat Jul 14 2018 - 23:01:07 EST


The if_changed kbuild function can only be used once per target. If not
it will effectively always trigger, flipping back and forth between the
two commands getting recorded. Instead, merge the two commands into a
single function to get stable build artifacts (i.e. .vmlinux.cmd).
