Subject: [GIT PULL] fix kbuild regression

Hi Linus.

Please pull from:

To get the following fix:

Sam Ravnborg (1):
    kbuild: fix $(src) assignmnet with external modules

    When we introduced support for KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS
    we started to include the externam module's kbuild
    file when doing the final modpost step.

    As external modules often do:
    ccflags-y := -I$(src)

    We had problems because $(src) was unassinged and
    gcc then used the next parameter for -I resulting in
    strange build failures.

    Fix is to assign $(src) and $(obj) when building
    external modules.

    This fixes: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10798
