From: Masahiro Yamada yamada.masahiro@socionext.com

commit ba634eceb535d95e87ef09caae7814b3687c6036 upstream.

The first "_all" occurrence around line 120 is only visible when KBUILD_SRC is unset.

If O=... is specified, the working directory is relocated, then the only second occurrence around line 193 is visible, that is not set to PHONY.

Move the first one to an always visible place. This clarifies "_all" is our default target and it is always set to PHONY.
