[PATCH] KBUILD EXTMOD: Don't echo test -e for autoconf.h, even in verbose mode

[PATCH] KBUILD EXTMOD: Don't echo test -e for autoconf.h, even in verbose mode

[Daniel Dadap]

The top-level Makefile tests to make sure autoconf.h is present before
building external modules. This test is performed silently unless
KBUILD_VERBOSE is set, in which case the test, along with the error
messages that gets printed when the test fails, shows up in `make`
output, regardless of whether the test succeeds.

Although there may be some utility in actually printing the test along
with the error message when building with KBUILD_VERBOSE, in practice,
the error message can confuse people building external modules.
