Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] scripts/tags.sh: Fix gtags generation for O= kernel builds

gtags considers any file outside of its current working directory
"outside the source tree" and refuses to index it.

For O= kernel builds, scripts/tags.sh invokes gtags with the current
working directory set to ${O}. This leads to gtags ignoring the entire
kernel source and generating an empty index.

For O= builds, set gtags' working directory to the kernel source tree
and explicitly set its output path through parameters instead.
