Commit c3ff2a5193fa ("powerpc/32: add stack protector support")
caused kernel panic on PowerPC if an external module is used with
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR because the 'prepare' target was not executed
for the external module build.

Commit e07db28eea38 ("kbuild: fix single target build for external
module") turned it into a build error because the 'prepare' target is
now executed but the 'prepare0' target is missing for the external
module build.

External module on arm/arm64 with CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_PER_TASK is
also broken in the same way.

Move 'PHONY += prepare0' to the common place. Make is fine with missing
rule for phony targets.

I minimize the change so it can be easily backported to 4.20.x

To fix v4.20 for external modules of PowerPC, please backport
e07db28eea38 ("kbuild: fix single target build for external module"),
and then this commit.

Thanks for fixing this! Out of curiosity - how does this work?
arch/powerpc/Makefile's stack_protector_prepare still depends on
prepare0 which is still defined only if KBUILD_EXTMOD=="" but somehow it
does not bother ./Makefile? Thanks,
