Masahiro Yamada cc306abd19 kbuild: fix and refactor single target build
The single target build has a subtle bug for the combination for
an individual file and a subdirectory.

[1] 'make kernel/fork.i' builds only kernel/fork.i

  $ make kernel/fork.i
    CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
    DESCEND objtool
    CPP     kernel/fork.i

[2] 'make kernel/' builds only under the kernel/ directory.

  $ make kernel/
    CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
    DESCEND objtool
    CC      kernel/fork.o
    CC      kernel/exec_domain.o
       [snip]
    CC      kernel/rseq.o
    AR      kernel/built-in.a

But, if you try to do [1] and [2] in a single command, you will get
only [1] with a weird log:

  $ make kernel/fork.i kernel/
    CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
    DESCEND objtool
    CPP     kernel/fork.i
  make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'kernel/'.

With 'make kernel/fork.i kernel/', you should get both [1] and [2].

Rewrite the single target build.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
