PATCH 1/1 kbuild/builddeb: Fix building .deb packages out-of-tree

From: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]>

When building a .deb package with

make O=/tmp/b oldconfig
cd /tmp/b
make bindeb-pkg

the build fails with

fakeroot -u debian/rules binary
***
*** Configuration file ".config" not found!
***
*** Please run some configurator (e.g. "make oldconfig" or
*** "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig").
***
make[12]: *** [/mnt/kernel/kernel/linux/scripts/kconfig/Makefile:69: syncconfig] Error 1 make[11]: *** [/mnt/kernel/kernel/linux/Makefile:544: syncconfig] Error 2 make[10]: *** [Makefile:640: include/config/auto.conf] Error 2
make[9]: *** [Makefile:15: __sub-make] Error 2

because ($MAKE -s image_name) in the subshell is missing KBUILD_SRC and cannot find .config. Passing in KBUILD_SRC= for the current pwd fixes the build.
