Since commit e7e2941300d2 ("kbuild: split device tree build rules into
scripts/Makefile.dtbs"), it is no longer possible to compile a device tree
blob that is not specified in a make rule
like:
    dtb-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.dtb

Before the mentioned commit, one could copy a dts file to e.g.
arch/arm64/boot/dts/ (or a new subdirectory) and then convert it to a dtb
file using:
    make ARCH=arm64 foo.dtb

In this scenario, both 'dtb-y' and 'dtb-' are empty, and the inclusion of
scripts/Makefile.dtbs relies on 'targets' to contain the MAKECMDGOALS. The
value of 'targets', however, is only final later in the code.

Move the conditional include of scripts/Makefile.dtbs down to where the
value of 'targets' is final. Since Makefile.dtbs updates 'always-y' which is
used as a prerequisite in the build rule, the build rule also needs to move
down.
