kbuild: fix parallel build race caused by u-boot.cfg regeneration
Multiple people have reported intermittent build failure in parallel building. Kever Yang reported this issue some time ago [1], but I could not get enough clue at that time. This time, Richard Purdie provided a full build log [2], which was very helpful for me to root-cause it. The cause of the problem is commit 0d982c585330 ("Makefile: add dependencies to regenerate u-boot.cfg when lost"). That commit added the 'cfg' as the prerequisite of the 'all' target, so the parallel build tries to run it simultaneously, then regenerates a symlink while building objects. When u-boot.cfg is accidentally lost, let's rebuild it before descending into any subdirectories. Also, what is annoying is u-boot.cfg is currently regenerated every time since it depends on FORCE. We can get rid of all the prerequisites of u-boot.cfg because u-boot.cfg is rebuilt anyway as the byproduct of auto.conf when a user updates the .config file.
