Makefile: Make checkstack work with O= builds

PATCH 1/1 Makefile: Make checkstack work with O= builds
The vmlinux doesn't always live in the same directory as the source files and so 'make O=obj checkstack' fails with a missing vmlinux file. Fix checkstack so that this is possible.
---
It would also be nice if this depended on vmlinux and modules being built already but I couldn't figure that part out.

It works for me even without your patch. With O=<dir>, a second make is run in <dir>, so $(objtree) is equivalent to . for the top-level Makefile. Can you post the exact command your run and the error message you get?
Thanks,
