From: Randy Dunlap <rdun...@infradead.org>
Fix "make tools/help" to skip "make syncconfig".
"make tools/help" currently tries to run "make syncconfig" even
though there is no .config file and one is not needed just to get
help text output. With no .config file, make says:
*** Configuration file ".config" not found!
*** Please run some configurator (e.g. "make oldconfig" or
*** "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig").
scripts/kconfig/Makefile:40: recipe for target 'syncconfig' failed
make[2]: *** [syncconfig] Error 1
Makefile:525: recipe for target 'syncconfig' failed
and then goes on to run:
make LDFLAGS= MAKEFLAGS=" " O=/linux/linux-next-20180426 subdir=tools -C
./tools/ help
which produces the requested help text. However, the "syncconfig"
efforts are not needed, so skip them by making "tools/help" be part
of the no-dot-config-targets rule.
