[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/5] Fix fallouts from LINUX_BUILD_CMDS simplification

Hello,

In commit ffbe46a5295ce4e0442728f2ad3e19afa7eaa8ed, a patch of mine
changed LINUX_BUILD_CMDS to do "make all $(LINUX_TARGET_NAME)" instead
of "make $(LINUX_TARGET_NAME)" and "make modules".

This has caused a number of build issues in our defconfigs:

 - A number of kernel configurations apparently don't build well when
   the "all" target is built concurrently with $(LINUX_TARGET_NAME),
   with weird file not found errors.

   We fix this by doing "make all" and "make $(LINUX_TARGET_NAME)"
   separately (first patch)

 - Due to calling "make all", a little bit more might get built, and
   sometimes this "little bit more" needs mkimage, so we add
   host-uboot-tools to the defconfig. This is enough as linux/linux.mk
   automatically adds host-uboot-tools to its dependency if it's
   enabled. I hesitated with adding an explicit
   BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_NEEDS_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS option, let me know if this
   sounds better or if the proposed solution in this patch series is
   good enough.

Thanks,

Thomas
