Subject: [PATCH] Don't mkdir -p include/config in the sourcetree when using O=outputdir option

Problem: When using the option to put output files in a separate directory, make oldconfig (or related steps like silentoldconfig) create the include/config dierectory in the source tree. This causes the prepare3 check to fail, requiring the user to run make mrproper in the source tree to continue with the make.

Solution: Add the $(objtree) directory to the %config target.

The following is an example of how the Makefile currently can fail.
[jkacur@...ho rt.linux.git]$ make mrproper
[jkacur@...ho rt.linux.git]$ mkdir /bld/2.6.33-rc3
[jkacur@...ho rt.linux.git]$ cp /bld/config /bld/2.6.33-rc3/.config
[jkacur@...ho rt.linux.git]$ make O=/bld/2.6.33-rc3/ oldconfig
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/docproc
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/hash
  GEN     /bld/2.6.33-rc3/Makefile
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/conf.o
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/kxgettext.o
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o
  HOSTLD  scripts/kconfig/conf
scripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/x86/Kconfig
[jkacur@...ho rt.linux.git]$ make O=/bld/2.6.33-rc3/
  GEN     /bld/2.6.33-rc3/Makefile
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig
  Using /home/jkacur/rt.linux.git as source for kernel
  /home/jkacur/rt.linux.git is not clean, please run 'make mrproper'
  in the '/home/jkacur/rt.linux.git' directory.
make[1]: *** [prepare3] Error 1
make: *** [sub-make] Error 2
[jkacur@...ho rt.linux.git]$ ls -ld include/config/
drwxrwxr-x 2 jkacur jkacur 6 2010-01-06 15:58 include/config/
