kbuild: create object directories simpler and faster

For the out-of-tree build, scripts/Makefile.build creates output directories, but this operation is not efficient. scripts/Makefile.lib calculates obj-dirs as follows: obj-dirs := $(dir $(multi-objs) $(obj-y)) Please notice $(sort ...) is not used here. Usually the result is as many "./" as objects here. For a lot of duplicated paths, the following command is invoked. _dummy := $(foreach d,$(obj-dirs), $(shell [ -d $(d) ] || mkdir -p $(d))) Then, the costly shell command is run over and over again. I see many points for optimization: [1] Use $(sort ...) to cut down duplicated paths before passing them to system call [2] Use single $(shell ...) instead of repeating it with $(foreach ...) This will reduce forking. [3] We can calculate obj-dirs more simply. Most of objects are already accumulated in $(targets). So, $(dir $(targets)) is fine and more comprehensive. I also removed ugly code in arch/x86/entry/vdso/Makefile. This is now really unnecessary.
