perf tools: Force fixdep compilation at the start of the build
The fixdep tool needs to be built before everything else, because it fixes every object dependency file. We handle this currently by making all objects to depend on fixdep, which is error prone and is easily forgotten when new object is added. Instead of this, this patch force fixdep tool to be built as the first target in the separate make session. This way we don't need to handle extra fixdep dependencies and we are certain there's no fixdep race with any parallel make job.
