[Qemu-block] [PATCH v2 1/5] make: improve check for stale generated files in source dir

[Laurent Vivier]

From: Daniel P. Berrangé <address@hidden>

When doing a build with builddir != srcdir, if any generated files are
accidentally present in srcdir from a previous build, these can cause
unexpected failures.

Currently there is a rule that checks for existance of config-host.mak,
but there have been cases where config-host.mak is absent, while other
generated files still exist.

Update the check to look at every file listed in $(GENERATED_FILES). To
do this we must move the check further down after $(GENERATED_FILES) has
been populated.
