Masahiro Yamada a721588d94 kbuild: modpost: do not parse unnecessary rules for vmlinux modpost
Since commit ff9b45c55b ("kbuild: modpost: read modules.order instead
of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod"), 'make vmlinux' emits a warning, like this:

$ make defconfig vmlinux
  [ snip ]
  LD      vmlinux.o
cat: modules.order: No such file or directory
  MODPOST vmlinux.o
  MODINFO modules.builtin.modinfo
  KSYM    .tmp_kallsyms1.o
  KSYM    .tmp_kallsyms2.o
  LD      vmlinux
  SORTEX  vmlinux
  SYSMAP  System.map

When building only vmlinux, KBUILD_MODULES is not set. Hence, the
modules.order is not generated. For the vmlinux modpost, it is not
necessary at all.

Separate scripts/Makefile.modpost for the vmlinux/modules stages.
This works more efficiently because the vmlinux modpost does not
need to include .*.cmd files.

Fixes: ff9b45c55b ("kbuild: modpost: read modules.order instead of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
