[PATCH] efi/libstub: refactor cmd_stubcopy

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Mon Feb 11 2019 - 22:46:26 EST


It took me a while to understand what is going on in the nested
if-blocks.

Simplify it by removing unneeded code.

- if_changed automatically adds 'set -e', so any failure in the
series of commands makes it immediately fail as a whole.
So, the outer if block is entirely redundant.

- Since commit 9c2af1c7377a ("kbuild: add .DELETE_ON_ERROR special
target"), GNU Make automatically deletes the target on any failure
in its recipe. The explicit 'rm -f $@' is redundant.

- surrounding commands with ( ) will spawn a subshell to execute them
in it, but it is rarely useful to do so.
