When testing multiple versions of the kernel with the same source code,it
is often necessary to recompile the kernel, which is time-consuming for
small hosts. I need to cp vmlinux to the corresponding module directory.
I think adding this will make debugging the kernel a little more
convenient.

Hi Masahiro Yamada,
I think this patch will make me feel comfortable, so I submitted this
change.
However, this submission may not be perfect. I just put forward my
ideas. If you think it can be added, you are welcome to point out the
parts that need to be modified. I will fix them as required and resubmit
the v2 version.
Thanks,
Zach
