[PATCH 1/2] kbuild: buildtar: fix tar error when CONFIG_MODULES is disabled

[Masahiro Yamada]

$tmpdir/lib is created by "make modules_install".  It does not exist
if CONFIG_MODULES is disabled, then tar reports the following messages:

tar: lib: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

[PATCH 2/2] kbuild: buildtar: do not print successful message if tar returns error

[Masahiro Yamada]

The previous commit spotted that "Tarball successfully created ..."
is displayed even if the "tar" command returns error code because
it is followed by "| ${compress}".

Let the build fail instead of printing the successful message since
if the "tar" command fails, the output may not be what users expect.

Avoid the use of the pipe.  While we are here, refactor the script
removing the use of sub-shell, ${compress}, ${file_ext}.
