No other kernel installation target moves the target directory out of
the way, even deleting an old version of it. These are destructive
operations, ones which the kernel build system should not be making.
Remove this behaviour.
If this behaviour is required at installation time, this should be
done by the installation external to the kernel makefiles, just like
it would be done for 'make modules_install'.
