kbuild: Use relative path when building in a subdir of the source tree
When doing make O=<subdir>, use '..' to refer to the source tree. This allows for more readable compiler messages, and, more importantly, it sets the VPATH to '..', so filenames in WARN_ON() etc. will be shorter. Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
