Subject: [PATCH] Add MO(mod objs) variable to process ext modules with subdirs

The change allow to build external modules with nested makefiles.
With current unofficial way(using "src" variable) it is posible to build
external(out of tree) kernel module with separating source and build
artifacts dirs but with nested makefiles it doesn't work properly.
Build system trap to recursion inside makefiles, articafts output dir
path grow with each iteration until exceed max path len and build failed
Providing "MO" variable and using "override" directive with declaring
"src" variable solve the problem
Usage example:
make -C KERNEL_SOURCE_TREE MO=BUILD_OUT_DIR M=EXT_MOD_SRC_DIR modules
