Revert "Makefile: install modules.builtin even if CONFIG_MODULES=n"
This reverts commit e0b250b5, which broke build systems that need to install files to a certain path, but do not set INSTALL_MOD_PATH when invoking 'make install'. $ make INSTALL_PATH=/tmp/destdir install mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/lib/modules/5.8.0-rc1+/’: Permission denied Makefile:1342: recipe for target '_builtin_inst_' failed make: *** [_builtin_inst_] Error 1 While modules.builtin is useful also for CONFIG_MODULES=n, this change in the behavior is quite unexpected. Maybe "make modules_install" can install modules.builtin irrespective of CONFIG_MODULES as Jonas originally suggested. Anyway, that commit should be reverted ASAP.
