Masahiro Yamada 4e9903b086 fortify: refactor test_fortify Makefile to fix some build problems
There are some issues in the test_fortify Makefile code.

Problem 1: cc-disable-warning invokes compiler dozens of times

To see how many times the cc-disable-warning is evaluated, change
this code:

  $(call cc-disable-warning,fortify-source)

to:

  $(call cc-disable-warning,$(shell touch /tmp/fortify-$$$$)fortify-source)

Then, build the kernel with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y. You will see a
large number of '/tmp/fortify-<PID>' files created:

  $ ls -1 /tmp/fortify-* | wc
       80      80    1600

This means the compiler was invoked 80 times just for checking the
-Wno-fortify-source flag support.

$(call cc-disable-warning,fortify-source) should be added to a simple
variable instead of a recursive variable.

Problem 2: do not recompile string.o when the test code is updated

The test cases are independent of the kernel. However, when the test
code is updated, $(obj)/string.o is rebuilt and vmlinux is relinked
due to this dependency:

  $(obj)/string.o: $(obj)/$(TEST_FORTIFY_LOG)

always-y is suitable for building the log files.

Problem 3: redundant code

  clean-files += $(addsuffix .o, $(TEST_FORTIFY_LOGS))

... is unneeded because the top Makefile globally cleans *.o files.

This commit fixes these issues and makes the code readable.
