inconsistent use of $TMP vs. $TMPDIR

inconsistent use of $TMP vs. $TMPDIR

[Eric Blake]

I noticed today that various kvm source files are inconsistent on the 
use of $TMP vs. $TMPDIR:

$ git grep -l '\$TMP\b' | cat
scripts/Kbuild.include
tools/perf/feature-tests.mak
$ git grep -l '\$TMPDIR\b' | cat
Documentation/lguest/extract

According to POSIX, you should probably be using $TMPDIR instead of $TMP 
when referring to the preferred temporary directory location.

These are not kvm specific issues.  Please use MAINTAINERS to report to 
the maintainer of the affected subsystems (lguest, kbuild).
