About changing the DISTRO, may be it's be useful, although we default for RHEL
as usually a RHEL developer wants to test the build on brew (rhel) instead of
centos even if we are building/integrating it first on centos. So that's why I
think no one complained so far, the maintainer (eg. me) is usually the one
which uses the DISTRO value (only at the dist-git sync step), but that has
been working on the centos side so far passing through the command line, so I
didn't noticed it was broken too since I don't use Makefile.variables.

To determine the where the value comes, we could use origin like ```ifeq
("$(origin BUILD_TARGET)", "command line")```, but I didn't think what the
logic should be.

I think we should keep DIST as is on Makefile.variables and logic is done in
Makefile? I think could be possible? I'm not sure if there is a problem. Right
now we change the DIST in Makefile.variables when kernel-ark is forked to
RHEL, for example, centos9 kernel src.git sets it to DIST ?= .el9 in
Makefile.variables.
