Two consecutive "make" on an already compiled kernel tree will show different behavior:
$ make CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CALL scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh DESCEND objtool CHK include/generated/compile.h VDSOCHK arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg VDSOCHK arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#3) Building modules, stage 2.

This is the same bug fixed in commit 92a4728608a8 ("x86/boot: Fix if_changed build flip/flop bug"). We cannot use two "if_changed" in one target. Fix this build bug by merging two commands into one function.
