kernel: skip kbuild if the kernel tree did not change

Browse Source 
kbuild runs twice per build, for the modules and for the image, and
takes about half a second each time even if there is nothing to do.

Store a hash of the kbuild command line after a successful run, and
skip the next run if the hash is the same and no file in the kernel
tree or the toolchain is newer than the stamp. The OpenWrt files at the
top of the kernel tree are ignored, apart from .config. Directories are
ignored, as kbuild changes them with temporary files, so a deleted file
alone does not trigger a run.

With CONFIG_STRIP_KERNEL_EXPORTS the image link reads symtab.h, which
sits above the kernel tree and follows the modules of the packages. The
scan of the image run names that file as well.

The workaround that deletes vmlinux now only runs together with kbuild.
