Let depmod.sh create a temporary directory in /tmp instead of writing to

Hmm, why not use $objtree/.tmp_depmod?

That's how it was done before and it's broken. make modules_install is usually ran as root and there is no guarantee that root has write access to the build directory (it can be on nfs).
