kbuild: update config_data.gz only when the content of .config is changed
commit 46b41d5dd8019b264717978c39c43313a524d033 upstream.
If the timestamp of the .config file is updated, config_data.gz is
regenerated, then vmlinux is re-linked. This occurs even if the content
of the .config has not changed at all.
This issue was mitigated by commit 67424f61f813 ("kconfig: do not write
.config if the content is the same"); Kconfig does not update the
.config when it ends up with the identical configuration.
The issue is remaining when the .config is created by *_defconfig with
some config fragment(s) applied on top.
This is typical for powerpc and mips, where several *_defconfig targets
are constructed by using merge_config.sh.
One workaround is to have the copy of the .config. The filechk rule
updates the copy, kernel/config_data, by checking the content instead
of the timestamp.
With this commit, the second run with the same configuration avoids
the needless rebuilds.
