Commit 05e96e96a3 ("kbuild: use git-archive for source package
creation") split the compression as a separate step to factor out
the common build rules.
With the previous commit, we got back to the situation where source
tarballs are compressed on-the-fly.
There is no reason to keep the separate compression rules.
Generate the comressed tar packages directly.

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.
