Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: Include external modules compile flags

Since this commit:
'commit 9b9a3f20cbe0 ("kbuild: split final module linking out into Makefile.modfinal")'
at least one out-of-tree external kernel module build fails
during the modfinal make phase because Makefile.modfinal does
not include the ccflags-y variable from the exernal module's Kbuild.
Make sure to include the external kernel module's Kbuild so that the
necessary command line flags from the external module are set.
