[Skiboot] [PATCH] pflash: Clean up makefiles and resolve build race

The pflash build process has regressed from when the were last fixed in
6c21c4ffaf82.

This patch resolves that issue and performs some cleanups:

 - Remove duplicated rules. Patches had moved rules into common files,
   but forgotten to remove them from the pflash makefiles.

 - Make assignements simply expanded variables where possible. Form the
   make manual:

     Functions referenced in the definition will be executed every time
     the variable is expanded.  This makes make run slower; worse, it
     causes the wildcard and shell functions to give unpredictable
     results because you cannot easily control when they are called, or
     even how many times.

     To avoid all the problems and inconveniences of recursively
     expanded variables, there is another flavor: simply expanded
     variables.

 - set the 'shared' target as a dependency of the libflash objects. This
   was the final piece to resolve the race condition.

The failed build could be reproduced by doing a `git clean -f -x` and
then running the following:
