kbuild: create directory for make cache only when necessary
Currently, the existence of $(dir $(make-cache)) is always checked, and created if it is missing. We can avoid unnecessary system calls by some tricks. [1] If KBUILD_SRC is unset, we are building in the source tree. The output directory checks can be entirely skipped. [2] If at least one cache data is found, it means the cache file was included. Obviously its directory exists. Skip "mkdir -p". [3] If Makefile does not contain any call of __run-and-store, it will not create a cache file. No need to create its directory. [4] The "mkdir -p" should be only invoked by the first call of __run-and-store Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Reviewed-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@chromium.org>
