Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: doc: Update default INSTALL_MOD_DIR from extra to updates

The default INSTALL_MOD_DIR was changed from 'extra' to
'updates' in commit b74d7bb7ca24 ("kbuild: Modify default
INSTALL_MOD_DIR from extra to updates").

This commit updates the documentation to align with the
latest kernel.
