scripts/gdb/linux/constants.py is never used in the kernel build
process. There is no good reason to create it so early.

Get it out of the 'prepare' stage.

I agree, I originally put it here to ensure it was only built after
bounds.h (following the asm-offsets.h example I expect). It has no
requirement to be built in this stage itself.

Depending on the prepare stage instead sounds a lot more reasonable.

Thanks
