Running "make" on an already compiled kernel tree will rebuild the vdso library even if this has not been modified.
$ make GEN Makefile Using linux as source for kernel CALL linux/scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh CALL linux/scripts/checksyscalls.sh <stdin>:1511:2: warning: #warning syscall clone3 not implemented [-Wcpp] CHK include/generated/compile.h VDSO arch/mips/vdso/vdso.so.dbg.raw OBJCOPY arch/mips/vdso/vdso.so.raw GENVDSO arch/mips/vdso/vdso-image.c CC arch/mips/vdso/vdso-image.o AR arch/mips/vdso/built-in.a AR arch/mips/built-in.a CHK include/generated/autoksyms.h GEN .version CHK include/generated/compile.h UPD include/generated/compile.h CC init/version.o AR init/built-in.a LD vmlinux.o MODPOST vmlinux.o MODINFO modules.builtin.modinfo KSYM .tmp_kallsyms1.o KSYM .tmp_kallsyms2.o LD vmlinux SORTEX vmlinux SYSMAP System.map Building modules, stage 2.

Fix the build bug merging the two commands into a single function.
