[PATCH 1/4] scripts/nsdeps: use $MODORDER to obtain correct modules.order path

The nsdeps script calls generate_deps() for every module in the
modules.order file. It prepends $objtree to obtain the full path of the
top-level modules.order file. This produces incorrect results when
calling nsdeps for an external module, as only the ns dependencies for
in-tree modules listed in $objtree/modules.order are generated rather
than the ns dependencies for the external module. To fix this, just use
the MODORDER variable provided by kbuild - it uses the correct path for
the relevant modules.order file (either in-tree or the one produced by
the external module build).

So, not being too familiar with kbuild, I am not sure if MODORDER was the
appropriate kbuild variable to use, but I could not find anything else that
gives us the modules.order path. Masahiro, please let me know if this is
appropriate usage.
