Subject: Makefile: make modules install output

make modules install used to end up with something like

  INSTALL sound/usb/usx2y/snd-usb-usx2y.ko
  INSTALL sound/x86/snd-hdmi-lpe-audio.ko
  INSTALL sound/xen/snd_xen_front.ko
  INSTALL virt/lib/irqbypass.ko
  DEPMOD  5.12.0-rc2myfix-00015-gc6f886546cb8

>From v5.13-rc1, it gives:

  STRIP   /lib/modules/5.13.0-rc1myfix/kernel/fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko
  STRIP   /lib/modules/5.13.0-rc1myfix/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko
  STRIP   /lib/modules/5.13.0-rc1myfix/kernel/net/mac80211/mac80211.ko
  STRIP   /lib/modules/5.13.0-rc1myfix/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/mlx5_core.ko
  STRIP   /lib/modules/5.13.0-rc1myfix/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu.ko
  DEPMOD  /lib/modules/5.13.0-rc1myfix

Is the full path name considered to be an improvement?  For the names of
the modules, it doesn't much matter, but the DEPMOD line was a convenient
way to get the full kernel name for subsequent rebooting.

thanks,
julia
