[Buildroot] [PATCH 6/9] Ask the kernel source where it will install modules

[Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>]

From: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>

Originally, $(LINUX26_VERSION) was used to figure out which directory
modules would get installed in under /lib/modules.  This causes problems
when $(LINUX26_VERSION) differs from what version the kernel source
thinks it is using because it will try to use depmod in the wrong directory.

This patch adds a new variable $(LINUX26_VERSION_MOD) which resolves to the
exact version string that the kernel uses.  Module install then uses this
value instead of $(LINUX26_VERSION) when running depmod

This patch also eliminates the modules.dep target and makes
.modules_installed depend on $(LINUX26_DIR)/.configured directly.  This is
necessary because the value of $(LINUX26_VERSION_MOD) is unavailable before
the kernel is unpacked.  Trying to use it in a target or dependency name
confuses make.
