Subject: [PATCH 1/2] kbuild: fix single target build for external module

Building a single target in an external module fails due to missing
.tmp_versions directory.

For example,

  $ make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$PWD foo.o

will fail in the following way:

  CC [M]  /home/masahiro/foo/foo.o
/bin/sh: 1: cannot create /home/masahiro/foo/.tmp_versions/foo.mod: Directory nonexistent

This is because $(cmd_crmodverdir) is executed only for /, %/, %.ko
single targets for external modules. Create .tmp_versions in the
'prepare' target.
