Since commit bcf637f54f6d ("kbuild: parse C= and M= before changing the
working directory"), external modules invoked by DKMS fail to build
because M= option is not parsed.
I wanted to add 'unset sub_make_done' in install.sh but similar scripts,
arch/*/boot/install.sh, are duplicated, so I set sub_make_done empty
in the top Makefile.
Fixes: bcf637f54f6d ("kbuild: parse C= and M= before changing the working directory")
