kbuild: Fix signing issue for external modules
[ Upstream commit 25ff08aa43e373a61c3e36fc7d7cae88ed0fc2d7 ]
When running the sign script the kernel is within the source directory
of external modules. This caused issues when the kernel uses relative
paths, like:
make[5]: Entering directory '/build/client/devel/kernel/work/linux-2.6'
make[6]: Entering directory '/build/client/devel/addmodules/vtx/work/vtx'
INSTALL /build/client/devel/addmodules/vtx/_/lib/modules/6.13.0-devel+/extra/vtx.ko
SIGN /build/client/devel/addmodules/vtx/_/lib/modules/6.13.0-devel+/extra/vtx.ko
/bin/sh: 1: scripts/sign-file: not found
DEPMOD /build/client/devel/addmodules/vtx/_/lib/modules/6.13.0-devel+
Working around it by using absolute pathes here.
