kbuild: support building external modules in a separate build directory
There has been a long-standing request to support building external
modules in a separate build directory.
This commit introduces a new environment variable, KBUILD_EXTMOD_OUTPUT,
and its shorthand Make variable, MO.
A simple usage:
$ make -C <kernel-dir> M=<module-src-dir> MO=<module-build-dir>
