kbuild: prefix $(srctree)/ to some included Makefiles
VPATH is used in Kbuild to make pattern rules search for prerequisites in both $(objtree) and $(srctree). Some of *.c, *.S files are not real sources, but generated by tools such as flex, bison, perl. In contrast, I doubt the benefit of --include-dir=$(abs_srctree) because it is always clear which Makefiles are real sources, and which are not. So, my hope is to add $(srctree)/ prefix to all check-in Makefiles, then remove --include-dir=$(abs_srctree) flag in the future. I am touching only some Kbuild core parts for now. Treewide fixes will be needed to achieve this goal. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
