[Buildroot] [PATCH] linux: restore DEPMOD usage

[Mike Frysinger]

The linux.mk rewrite lost the DEPMOD setting while installing modules
which means depending on host-module-init-tools has been useless.
Instead, the build system has been executing /sbin/depmod.

While we're here, drop the INSTALL_MOD_PATH since LINUX26_MAKE_FLAGS
already contains it.
