[PATCH] X.509: Fix certificate gathering again

[Michal Marek]

Commit d7ec435f (X.509: Fix certificate gathering) fixed the issue of
changing .x509.list, but in the CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y case, it assumed
that $(objtree) was an absolute path. Commit 7e1c0477 (kbuild: Use
relative path for $(objtree)) broke this assumption and we get
uncecessary rebuilds again, due to ./signing_key.x509 changing to
signing_key.x509. Instead of prepending the absolute path and
stripping it again, just check if $(srctree) and $(objtree) are
different directories and add $(srctree)/*.x509 only in such case.

However, such fix causes a different issue, namely that a potential
$(srctree)/signing_key.x509 appears before the to-be-generated
signing_key.x509 in the sorted list, and make remembers this file for
the purpose of VPATH search. It worked previously, because
./signing_key.x509 sorts before any absolute path. Solve this by sorting
the $(objtree) and $(srctree) files separately, to ensure that
signing_key.x509 appears before anything from $(srctree).
