tools build: Correct libsubcmd fixdep dependencies
All built targets need fixdep to be built first, before handling object
dependencies [1]. We're missing one such dependency before the libsubcmd
target.
This resolves .cmd file generation issues such that the following
sequence produces many fewer results:
$ git clean -xfd tools/
$ make tools/objtool
$ grep "cannot find fixdep" $(find tools/objtool -name '*.cmd')
In particular, only a buggy tools/objtool/libsubcmd/.fixdep.o.cmd
remains, due to circular dependencies of fixdep on itself.
Such incomplete .cmd files don't usually cause a direct problem, since
they're designed to fail "open", but they can cause some subtle problems
that would otherwise be handled by proper fixdep'd dependency files. [2]
[1] This problem is better described in commit abb26210a395 ("perf
tools: Force fixdep compilation at the start of the build"). I don't
apply its solution here, because additional recursive make can be a bit
of overkill.
[2] Example failure case:
cp -arl linux-src linux-src2
cd linux-src2
make O=/path/to/out
cd ../linux-src
rm -rf ../linux-src2
make O=/path/to/out
Previously, we'd see errors like:
make[6]: *** No rule to make target
'/path/to/linux-src2/tools/include/linux/compiler.h', needed by
'/path/to/out/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/libsubcmd/exec-cmd.o'. Stop.
Now, the properly-fixdep'd .cmd files will ignore a missing
/path/to/linux-src2/...
