8937e89718 depmod: pass -P $CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX
On architectures which have symbol prefixes, depmod emits lots of
warnings like this:

WARNING: $module.ko needs unknown symbol $symbol

This is because depmod isn't being passed the -P <symbol_prefix>
arguments to specify the symbol prefix to ignore. This option is
included since the 3.13 release of module-init-tools.

Update scripts/depmod.sh to take extra arguments for the symbol prefix
(required but may be empty), and update the main Makefile to always pass
"$(CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX)" to scripts/depmod.sh.

If the provided symbol prefix is non-empty, scripts/depmod.sh checks if
depmod --version reports module-init-tools with a version number < 3.13
otherwise it appends -P $SYMBOL_PREFIX to the depmod command line.

620c231c7a kbuild: do not check for ancient modutils tools
scripts/depmod.sh checks for the output of '-V' expecting that it has
module-init-tools in it. It's a hack to prevent users from using
modutils instead of module-init-tools, that only works with 2.4.x
kernels. This however prints an annoying warning for kmod tool, that is
currently replacing module-init-tools.

Rather than putting another check for kmod's version, just remove it
since users of 2.4.x kernel are unlikely to upgrade to 3.x, and if they
do, let depmod fail in that case because they should know what they are
doing.

8fc62e5942 kbuild: Do not write to builddir in modules_install
Let depmod.sh create a temporary directory in /tmp instead of writing to
the build directory as root. The mktemp utility should be available on
any recent system (and there is already scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh
relying on it).

bfe5424a8b kbuild: Hack for depmod not handling X.Y versions
depmod from module-init-tools < 3.13 and the busybox depmod check if the
kernel release starts with <num>.<num>.<num>. To support these versions,
we create a symlink with two numbers prepended.

fc4da9a3e6 kbuild: Move depmod call to a separate script
Do not bloat the Makefile with multiline shell statements. No
user-visible change intended.
