[PATCH 4.20 061/111] kbuild: fix single target build for external module

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.20-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit e07db28eea38ed4e332b3a89f3995c86b713cb5b upstream.

Building a single target in an external module fails due to missing
.tmp_versions directory.

For example,

  $ make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$PWD foo.o

will fail in the following way:

  CC [M]  /home/masahiro/foo/foo.o
/bin/sh: 1: cannot create /home/masahiro/foo/.tmp_versions/foo.mod: Directory nonexistent

This is because $(cmd_crmodverdir) is executed only before building
/, %/, %.ko single targets of external modules. Create .tmp_versions
in the 'prepare' target.
