perf tools: Force fixdep compilation at the start of the build
The fixdep tool needs to be built before everything else, because it fixes
every object dependency file.
We handle this currently by making all objects to depend on fixdep, which is
error prone and is easily forgotten when new object is added.
Instead of this, this patch force fixdep tool to be built as the first target
in the separate make session. This way we don't need to handle extra fixdep
dependencies and we are certain there's no fixdep race with any parallel make
job.
Committer notes:
Testing it:
Before:
$ rm -rf /tmp/build/perf/ ; mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf ; make -k O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin
make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
BUILD: Doing 'make -j4' parallel build
