arm64: fix vdso-offsets.h dependency
arm64/kernel/{vdso,signal}.c include vdso-offsets.h, as well as any file that includes asm/vdso.h. Therefore, vdso-offsets.h must be generated before these files are compiled. The current rules in arm64/kernel/Makefile do not actually enforce this, because even though $(obj)/vdso is listed as a prerequisite for vdso-offsets.h, this does not result in the intended effect of building the vdso subdirectory (before all the other objects). As a consequence, depending on the order in which the rules are followed, vdso-offsets.h is updated or not before arm64/kernel/{vdso,signal}.o are built. The current rules also impose an unnecessary dependency on vdso-offsets.h for all arm64/kernel/*.o, resulting in unnecessary rebuilds. This is made obvious when using make -j: touch arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S && make -j$NCPUS arch/arm64/kernel will sometimes result in none of arm64/kernel/*.o being rebuilt, sometimes all of them, or even just some of them. It is quite difficult to ensure that a header is generated before it is used with recursive Makefiles by using normal rules. Instead, arch-specific generated headers are normally built in the archprepare recipe in the arch Makefile (see for instance arch/ia64/Makefile). Unfortunately, asm-offsets.h is included in gettimeofday.S, and must therefore be generated before vdso-offsets.h, which is not the case if archprepare is used. For this reason, a rule run after archprepare has to be used. This commit adds rules in arm64/Makefile to build vdso-offsets.h during the prepare step, ensuring that vdso-offsets.h is generated before building anything. It also removes the now-unnecessary dependencies on vdso-offsets.h in arm64/kernel/Makefile. Finally, it removes the duplication of asm-offsets.h between arm64/kernel/vdso/ and include/generated/ and makes include/generated/vdso-offsets.h a target in arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile.
