package/linux-tools: fix parallel compilation

Browse Source 
linux-tools opportunistically set linux as only a patch dependency. This
unfortunately introduces a race condition in the shared linux scripts
when using PER_PACKAGE_DIRECTORIES and using top level parallelism. The
race manifests as the error "/bin/sh: 1: scripts/basic/fixdep:
Permission denied". This happens when the linux package and the
linux-tools package are being compiled in parallel.

The linux-tools currently using fixdep are perf and rtla. When the
timing is correct, perf, rtla, or the kernel Makefile will try to use
fixdep while one of the others is compiling fixed, resulting in fixdep
being briefly not available.

To fix this, set linux as a build dependency instead of a patch
dependency.
