Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: allow multi-word $M in Makefile.modpost

Some people want to do crazy things like pass multiple directories
as the value of $(SUBDIRS) or $M. Mostly this kinda works, except
that Makefile.modpost constructs a modpost commandline which fails
modpost's argument parsing. This patch fixes that little wrinkle.
