kbuild: fix installing external modules

Eric Sandeen <[email protected]> reported: Installing external modules is supposed to put them in some path under /lib/modules/<version>/extra/subdir/, but this change: http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/?PAGE=cset&REV=1.1982.9.23 makes them go under /lib/modules/<version>/extrasubdir (for example, make M=fs/ext3 modules_install puts ext3.ko in /lib/modules/<version>/extrafs/ext3.ko) This was the case only when specifying a trailing slash to M=.. Fixed by removing trailing slash if present so we correctly match dir part of target. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <[email protected]> Cc: Eric Sandeen <[email protected]>
