    kbuild: Fix include path in scripts/Makefile.modpost · 23a0cb8e
    Jing Leng authored
    When building an external module, if users don't need to separate the
    compilation output and source code, they run the following command:
    "make -C $(LINUX_SRC_DIR) M=$(PWD)". At this point, "$(KBUILD_EXTMOD)"
    and "$(src)" are the same.
    
    If they need to separate them, they run "make -C $(KERNEL_SRC_DIR)
    O=$(KERNEL_OUT_DIR) M=$(OUT_DIR) src=$(PWD)". Before running the
    command, they need to copy "Kbuild" or "Makefile" to "$(OUT_DIR)" to
    prevent compilation failure.
    
    So the kernel should change the included path to avoid the copy operation.

    [masahiro: I do not think "M=$(OUT_DIR) src=$(PWD)" is the official way,
    but this patch is a nice clean up anyway.]
