[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.
