kbuild: skip parsing pre sub-make code for recursion
When Make recurses to the top Makefile with sub-make-done unset, the code block surrounded by 'ifneq ($(sub-make-done),1) ... endif' is parsed multiple times. This happens for in-tree building of include/config/auto.conf, *-pkg, etc. with GNU Make 4.x. This is a slight regression by commit 688931a5 ("kbuild: skip sub-make for in-tree build with GNU Make 4.x") in terms of performance since that code block contains one $(shell ...) invocation. Fix it by exporting the variable irrespective of sub-make being run. I renamed it because GNU Make cannot properly export variables containing hyphens. This is probably a bug of GNU Make, and the issue in Kbuild had already been reported by commit 2bfbe788 ("kbuild: Do not use hyphen in exported variable name").
